Seeing Through Christianity: a Critique of Beliefs and Evidence Bill Zuersher

The only book you'll ever need to read about Christianity. This remarkable book provides a critical overview of Christian beliefs and the evidence for them. It will change the way you think, not just about Christianity, but about religion in general. Christians believe that Jesus rose from the dead and that those who follow him will be rewarded in another life. But where did these beliefs come from? Are there good reasons to believe the stories people tell about Jesus? The author takes us on a fascinating tour of the religion's roots, philosophically and historically. The book presents each component belief in logical order, beginning with the universal religious problem, suffering and death, through the cosmic drama by which Christianity resolves that problem. In these pages we see the coalescence of Jewish and Zoroastrian religious ideas with those of Greek philosophy and mystery cults, to form the belief system we recognize as Christianity today. The result, the author suggests, is not revealed truth, but rather a human patchwork which contains unwarranted assumptions and logical flaws, all founded upon questionable evidence. Entertaining throughout, it is must-reading for skeptics, apologists, and anyone interested the world's largest religion or the culture wars behind today's politics - an invaluable resource for students and teachers, writers and debaters.
