| |
| PERSONAL RELIGION IN EGYPT |
| BEFORE CHRISTIANITY |
| |
| |
| "The author gauges what ideas were already |
| part of the religious thought in the first |
| century, and what were the terms and ideas |
| in Christianity which were new to mankind. |
| The current literature of the time was as |
| naturally taken for granted by Christians as |
| were the books of the Old Testament which |
| were familiar to them. The separation of the |
| new ideas in the teaching of Christ and of |
| the Apostles from the general terms of |
| religion at the time, is the only road to |
| understanding what Christianity meant to |
| those who actually heard the teaching." |
| |
| _Notts Guardian._ |
| |
| "A suggestive and thought-provoking book, a |
| real contribution to the study of |
| comparative religion." |
