Product Description

In taking as my subject for this book the question of the morality, or rather the immorality of the Bible, I realize at once the importance and delicacy of the subject. This is true, because what is immoral in one age and time, may at some other time, be considered moral, and what we to-day may consider moral and acceptable, may at some future date be condemned as being immoral. Therefore, the subject that I have chosen for my book is as delicate as it is serious, as there is always the possibility of saying something that may be entirely at variance with the conceptions of some of us regarding morality and its phases.

Great book! highly recommended
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.
