Paganism in Our Christianity is a book written by Arthur Weigall that explores the influence of pagan beliefs, practices, and traditions on Christianity. The author argues that many Christian beliefs and practices have their roots in ancient pagan religions, and that these influences have shaped the development of Christianity over the centuries. Weigall examines various aspects of Christian theology, such as the concept of the Trinity, the role of the Virgin Mary, and the use of symbols and rituals, and traces their origins back to pagan sources. He also discusses the impact of pagan philosophy on Christian thought, and the ways in which Christian theology has been influenced by pagan myths and legends. The book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the complex relationship between Christianity and paganism, and challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of the origins of Christian beliefs and practices.1928. Christian theology, the author asserts, is in part quite acceptable and in part totally unacceptable to the modern mind: such of its doctrines and beliefs as have the genuine authority of the historic Jesus Christ are unassailable and eternal, but those which are based upon the early Christians' interpretation of our Lord's nature and mission are largely untenable. Much of the generally accepted Christian doctrine, the author continues, is derived from pagan sources and not from Jesus Christ at all, a great deal of ecclesiastical Christianity being, indeed, so definitely paganism redressed that one might almost speak of it as the last stronghold of the old heathen gods.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
