Personal — Religion in Egypt Before Christianity
“The author gauges what ideas were already part of the religious thought in the first century, and what were the terms and ideas in Christianity which were new to mankind. The current literature of the time was as naturally taken for granted by Christians as were the books of the Old Testament which were familiar to them. The separation of the new ideas in the teaching of Christ and of the Apostles from the general terms of religion at the time, is the only road to understanding what Christianity meant to those who actually heard the teaching.”
Notts Guardian.
“A suggestive and thought-provoking book, a real contribution to the study of comparative religion.”
