About This Book

An argumentative, satirical pamphlet that reads the four Gospels literally in order to expose apparent contradictions, improbabilities, and moral ambiguities in Christian narratives and doctrines. The author highlights inconsistencies in birth stories, prophetic claims, miracle accounts, and ethical teachings while insisting no passages are rejected as interpolations; instead he treats them as genuine to show that reverence sometimes obscures absurdities. The work advocates free inquiry over unquestioning belief, uses humor and plain language rather than technical scholarship, and aims to provoke readers to examine religious claims critically.
