(Jesus is the New Testament) This is a great example of someone taking a true statement and putting an outrageous claim to it. What I want to know is how is that different than what the author is claiming the Christians do? Get real! Think! Read some C. S. Lewis for an understanding of how the similarities in Christian and Pagan religions work together to show the truth.
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: very informative Review: This book was very informative. Although some of the sections seem to scatter a bit, it hit right on the nose. After reading the reviews, I am quite interested in what many religious people have to say. I left the Christian faith 6 years ago and in doing so really began to see the true colors of the so-called "christians". I am in no way suggesting that all Christians are hypocrites and attack those who do not believe as they do, but from personal experience, it is hard not to think that way. The book hit on some key points and made people angry because much of was true. People are afraid of anything that is true especially in religion because that is what many base their whole lives and thoughts around. Hats off to The Book for its brave and informative looks at christianity and its history.

I found mostly half truths and out and out lies. The history of Krishna being crucified (P185) is laughable and not factual. In fact I found a lot of opininon and quotes strung together that on the surface sound reliable, and compelling; but, given time even a grade school child could find the holes in Leedom's compilation of nonsense. While the list of contributor's sounds excellent, I find it noteworthy that "The Book" contains no bibliography or works cited list. Whereas Lee Strobel's book The Case for Christ has six and one half pages of references used for his book, authored by those on both pro and con sides of Christianity. This book is hardly worth the effort or time, save your money.
Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: Of the same caliber as some popular Christian books. Review: This is one of the worst critiques of religion available. There are many very good books on the market that make good critiques, but this is not one of them. If I belonged to a church, I would hope that my opponents would read this book instead of any others, since it is the least competent, and the least likely to raise any serious challenges.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: The best and most disturbing book that I have ever read! Review: This book is recommended to anyone who has ever searched for the truth in religion. But be prepared, because you can never go back to your old beliefs once you have finished this book.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Well-researched and simply put. Review: They said all I've felt and wanted to say! This is a must read for all people considering any religious path. The Christians are not going to like this one unless they are willing to think.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Excellent compilation on the errors of Christian mythology Review: Anyone who has ever taken the time to evaluate the Christian religion is aware of the absurdities underlying its primary claims. But it has always required a great deal of reading to gain some background on the historical underpinnings of the religion. In this book Leedom has gathered together articles on a wide range of subjects that attack the shaky foundation of Christian mythology.From Graves' "Sixteen Crucified Saviors" to Thomas Paine's delightfully rational analyses of Christian irrationality, this book is a wonderful read. The Remsburg excerpt on the lack of any historical record for Jesus is worth the price of the book alone (although you might also want to purchase the two Remsburg books: "The Christ" and "The Bible").
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Excellent resource on Astro-Theology. Review: Christian's may find this book offensive, as evidenced by the undeserved "religious criticism" in this review section, but approached from a non- bias viewpoint this book is very refreshing. Information that is very hard to find, such as the Astrological connection that religion's have historically suppressed, is revealed in a coherent fashion. Jordan Maxwell's article on Astro-Theology is very informative and eye opening. A couple of silly tongue in cheek articles are included, but all in all is a great book with information compiled from various author's that is very difficult to find in print anywhere else. Don't miss this book while you can still get it!
Rating: ![3 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-3-0.gif) Summary: A moderately helpful anthology Review: As a popular anthology it contains articles of varying quality and interest. The editor has tried hard to make the book a scandal in the hope of achieving popular success. (Consider the title.) Since so little material of this type makes it to press and we are drowning in a sea of "inspirational" books with a strong Christian perspective, it is useful to have some dissent. The cheap graphics don't help at all.
Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: This book serves as a confidence booster to Christians Review: If Christians want an effective apologetic for their faith, they could pay unbelieving pseudo-scholars such as the editors of this joke of a book to continue their attack on the Church. This book caricatures Christians and its arguments are fallacious and have long been debunked. I would be embarrassed to be associated with this kind of work if I were an atheist so sloppy it is. They like to point out Christian governments killing people (known gangsters in Byzantium for example) but conveniently do not mention the MILLIONS of believers who have died at the hands of atheist governments in this century. Thr Trinity a fourth century invention? Where are these guys getting their history, from a cereal box? Theophilus explicitly mentions the Trinity by that title in 180 AD. Deloss McKown's article is a real whopper! He spends most of his time railing against "fundagelicals" while using a series of fallacious arguments. This book is nothing but axe-grinding.! I doubt that these men would ever be so sloppy in their work in other fields. It is their hatred of the Church that blinds them. Anyone impressed with this work is likely not remotely familiar with Christianity but rather a caricature.
