The Mistake of Christendom; or, Jesus and His Gospel Before Paul and Christianity

By George Stearns

Book Overview

The Mistake of Christendom: Or Jesus and His Gospel Before Paul and Christianity is a book written by George Stearns in 1857. The book explores the origins of Christianity and the teachings of Jesus Christ before the influence of the Apostle Paul. Stearns argues that the true message of Jesus has been distorted by the teachings of Paul and the institutionalization of Christianity. He believes that the original gospel of Jesus emphasized love, compassion, and social justice, rather than dogma and ritual. Stearns also critiques the role of organized religion in perpetuating social inequality and oppression. The book provides a critical perspective on the history of Christianity and challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of the religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
