Published in 1876, 'Ancient Faiths and Modern' by Thomas Inman is a historical dissertation that explores worship practices, legends, and deities from ancient civilizations in Central and Western Asia, Europe, and beyond. Inman critiques orthodox Christian views, arguing that many contemporary religious customs are rooted in earlier pagan traditions. His work emphasizes the importance of independent inquiry into truth, drawing connections between ancient faiths and modern beliefs while challenging the suppression of knowledge in both medical and religious contexts.
