About this listen

This book aims to clarify its historical perspective to avoid any misunderstandings. While I am deeply influenced by my Catholic faith, this exploration isnt primarily about the theological debates between Catholics and Protestants. Instead, it delves into a variety of pagan beliefs more than it does into Christianity itself. My central argument is that those who claim that Christ is merely another figure among myths and that his teachings align with other religions are repeating an outdated notion that is challenged by significant historical realities. I rely on commonly known facts without claiming to be an expert, drawing on the insights of those more knowledgeable than myself. Though I have previously diverged from Mr. H. G. Wells in my historical interpretations, I commend him for his imaginative courage and for championing the right of amateurs to engage with the facts provided by specialists.
