A proposito di questo titolo
 In this thought-provoking work from 1921, Carpenter delves into the roots of Christian beliefs, asserting that they are deeply intertwined with pre-Christian myths and religions rather than representing entirely new revelations. He posits that humanity has evolved from a simple consciousness to a more self-aware state, and is now on the brink of transitioning into a new phase of consciousness—one that anticipates a post-Christian era. In the compelling chapter titled “The Exodus of Christianity,” Carpenter expresses his belief that it may be neither probable nor beneficial for Christianity to continue dominating the landscape of Western religion. With chapters like “Solar Myths and Christian Festivals,” “Rites of Expiation and Redemption,” and “The Saviour-God and the Virgin-Mother,” he explores these themes across various cultural contexts. - Summary by Verla Viera

Christianity, like all other religions, came not into the world full-grown, but from the simple conceptions of its early followers became gradually elaborated by the introduction of pagan forms and customs until it supplanted its early rivals and gave its adherents a compact and solid theology not very different from that of its predecessors…. Probably the true source of that human characteristic which is defined as the religious instinct and which is supposed to be an elevating and moral agent, is to be found in the superstition which originated in fear of the unknown….

    "Elizabethan Demonology" by Thomas Alfred Spalding delves into the intricate beliefs surrounding demons and the supernatural during the Elizabethan era, a time when the intersection of faith and fear shaped societal views.
