Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

Contends that the roots of Christian belief come not from Judaea but from Egypt • Shows that the Romans fabricated their own version of Christianity and burned the Alexandrian library as a way of maintaining political power • Builds on the arguments of the author's previous books The Hebrew Pharaohs of Egypt, Moses and Akhenaten, and Jesus in the House of the Pharaohs In Christianity: An Ancient Egyptian Religion author Ahmed Osman contends that the roots of Christian belief spring not from Judaea but from Egypt. He compares the chronology of the Old Testament and its factual content with ancient Egyptian records to show that the major characters of the Hebrew scriptures--including Solomon, David, Moses, and Joshua--are based on Egyptian historical figures. He further suggests that not only were these personalities and the stories associated with them cultivated on the banks of the Nile, but the major tenets of Christian belief--the One God, the Trinity, the hierarchy of heaven, life after death, and the virgin birth--are all Egyptian in origin. He likewise provides a convincing argument that Jesus himself came out of Egypt. With the help of modern archaeological findings, Osman shows that Christianity survived as an Egyptian mystery cult until the fourth century A.D., when the Romans embarked on a mission of suppression and persecution. In A.D. 391 the Roman-appointed Bishop Theophilus led a mob into the Serapeum quarter of Alexandria and burned the Alexandrian library, destroying all records of the true Egyptian roots of Christianity. The Romans' version of Christianity, manufactured to maintain political power, claimed that Christianity originated in Judaea. In Christianity: An Ancient Egyptian Religion Osman restores Egypt to its rightful place in the history of Christianity.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1877 edition. Excerpt: ... Alexamenos should be compared a Christian medal (circa temp. Honorii) described by Cavedoris in the Rev. Num. for 1857, of which I send a tracing, which I will ask you kindly to return, where au ass and her colt are made in some strange way to symbolize Jesus Christ. Alexander's image (on the obverse) was a known magical charm. P. 43. The gem named is one, I suppose, in the British Museum. I omitted it from "Gems " in Smith and Cheetham's Dictionary of Christian Antiquities, because I could not feel sore that it was Christian. The figure can hardly be Jesus Christ himself, holding his own self symbolized; but I would not be too sure. The nimbus does not prove that it is Christian (see Martigny). I once fancied that it might be a saint, holding fast by Christ, and "going on" the crocodile instead of the "lion and adder"; but I do not now feel any confidence about that. P. 44, second gem, with this compare Matter, pi. 1, E. n. g. But I do not see any sure mark of Christianity in either gem. I am very doubtful about the Christianity of some of your other gems. The Chairman (C. Brooke, Esq., M.A., F.K.S., V.P.).--I am sure you will agree with me in returning our best thanks to Mr. Cooper for his very able exposition of Egyptian mythology, * and to the Rev. Mr. Gorman for the pleasing manner in which he has read it. It is now open for any present to offer remarks on the paper. Rev. Canon Titcomb.--The suggestive and valuable paper which has been read contains so much important matter, that we should be wrong in not fairly dealing with the questions which arise out of it. The point of greatest interest will, I think, lie in a discussion as to how far infidelity has a right to say that the theology of the Bible was borrowed from Egypt, instead...

Egyptologist Gerald Massey challenged readers in A Book of the Beginnings to consider the argument that Egypt was the birthplace of civilization and that the widespread monotheistic vision of man and the metaphysical was, in fact, based on ancient Egyptian mythos. In The Natural Genesis, presented here in an omnibus edition, Massey delivers a sequel, delving deeper into his compelling polemic. In Volume I, he offers a more intellectual, fine-tuned analysis of the development of society out of Egypt. From the simplest signs (numbers, the cross) to the grandest archetypes (darkness, the mother figure), Massey carefully and confidently lays the cultural and psychosocial bricks of evolutionism. Volume II provides detailed discourse on the Egyptian origin of the delicate components of the monotheistic creed. With his agile prose, Massey leads an adventurous examination of the epistemology of astronomy, time, and Christology-and what it all means for human culture. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including The Book of the Beginnings, The Natural Genesis, and Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World.
