About This Book

A series of polemical lectures argues that a single solar-zodiac myth underlies many religions and that much Christian doctrine derives from earlier pagan allegories. The author examines miracles and Christian supernaturalism, critiques early church fathers and established dogmas, and traces the political alliance between clergy and ruling elites that sustains superstition. He treats Gnosticism and secret allegorical traditions, analyzes the social and moral effects of supernatural belief, and concludes with a dialogue and physiologico-theological reflections. The work applies historical, astronomical, and rational readings to religious narratives with the stated aim of challenging priestcraft and promoting freer inquiry.
