About This Book

The author subjects Christian origins, scriptures, and traditions to critical scrutiny, arguing that contemporary secular and Jewish records offer scant corroboration for many miraculous claims and key events. She questions the authenticity of disputed historical passages, analyzes gospel narratives and their evidential value, and examines morality, symbols, ceremonies, and institutional development. Arguing that purported miracles and documentary gaps undermine traditional proofs, the work urges a freethinking reassessment and ultimately rejects the creed on the grounds of unreliable evidence.
