King Solomon's Goat

What begins as scholarly inquiry becomes an unflinching confrontation with the blood-soaked foundations of faith. Bartlett traces the ancient deity Moloch, worshipped through child sacrifice, into the very heart of Christian theology, arguing that the transition from pagan ritual to organized religion was neither clean nor complete. The narrative weaves historical research with pointed theological critique, examining how ancient practices of ritual sacrifice persist, transformed but unmistakable, in modern worship. This is a book that will disturb believers and intrigue skeptics alike. For readers willing to question what they've been taught, it offers a provocative re-reading of religious history that refuses to look away from uncomfortable truths.
