In these three classic essays--"The Forgery of the Old Testament", "The Myth of Immortality", and "Lies of Religious Literature"--ex-priest Joseph McCabe exposes the inconsistencies that lie behind the texts of Christianity. With forcefulness, clarity, and often biting humor, McCabe attacks two millennia of Christian tradition using the weapons of science and reason.

One of the most important rationalists of his era takes readers through the ancient world to show how Christianity appropriated the ceremonies and myths of paganism to elaborate the Resurrection story. McCabe cogently demonstrates that the Jesus of the gospels is not historical but a curious amalgam constructed after his death, and the gospels themselves are unreliable as biographies.
