Overview

Two quotes from the book: This book is dedicated in all seriousness to rabbis, priests and ministers, in the hope that it may bring them to realize the fraud they are perpetrating by preaching the Bible as the Word of God, and as a moral and intellectual guide for the human race. -Joseph Lewis. * * * * * From the pulpit of Calvary Baptist Church ... the Reverend W. L. Pettingill ... said this: "Only those who believe in Christ as God, in His Virgin Birth and in His Resurrection in the body-the irreducible minimum of the Christian faith-will go to heaven. Those who deny any or all of these tenets will be lost-they will go to hell" ... "We have got to smoke them out," cried the reverend, and when he made this last statement I suppose he forgot for the moment that he was not living in the days when thousands suffered death by fire and fagot for denying the very things that he now demands that we all accept. If the ecclesiastical arm were as strong now as it was then, how sweet would the "smoke" of my flesh be to the nostrils of the Reverend Mr. Pettingill. ------------------------------------------------- Joseph Lewis makes his case "against" both the Bible and Christianity (and against Judaism to some extent). He does not only give his personal opinion but also cites verses and passages from the Bible. He also cites the comments and opinions of Christian preachers and ministers to prove his point. One may or may not agree with Lewis' arguements/conclusions, but anyone who reads this books will see that he supports what he says with evidence and/or with previous works made by famous scholars.i.e. Thomas Paine. Highly recommended if you're a student of religion, the Bible, and/or Christianity and Judaism.
