Bible Myths and Their Parallels in Other Religions

2022 Reprint of the 1908 Fourth Edition. Facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This remarkable book is a monumental undertaking intended to compare the basic elements of many different faiths and what they have in common. It strongly suggests that the important details of the Christian story have parallels in pre-existing religions. It is a a comparison of the Old and New Testament myths and miracles with those of pre-existing religions from antiquity. Strongly influenced by Godfrey Higgins' Anacalypsis, Doane continues the search for common threads in the spiritual language of all languages and religions. It remains a classic in the literature of Freethinkers and Theosophists.
