Pagan & Christian Creeds: Their Origin and Meaning

Pagan & Christian Creeds: Their Origin and Meaning

Edward Carpenter

Published in 1921, Edward Carpenter's 'Pagan & Christian Creeds: Their Origin and Meaning' examines the roots of Christian beliefs, positing that they are derived from earlier pagan myths and religions. Carpenter argues for an evolution of human consciousness, suggesting a transition towards a post-Christian era. The book includes chapters that explore themes such as solar myths, Christian festivals, and the concepts of redemption and savior figures, challenging the notion of Christianity as a unique revelation. This work is notable for its critical perspective on the future of Christianity in the Western world.
