Summary: "The Christian Mythology" by Brigham Leatherbee is a critical examination of Christian beliefs and traditions, written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the origins and transformations of various Christian concepts, tracing their roots to earlier pagan religions and mythologies. It discusses elements such as the virgin birth, miracles, and the resurrection of Jesus, suggesting that these themes are not unique to Christianity but are present in many ancient religions. At the start of the text, Leatherbee argues that Christianity has evolved considerably from its origins, absorbing aspects of surrounding pagan practices over time. He introduces the idea that many foundational Christian beliefs—such as the virgin birth of Jesus—are parallel to myths found in other cultures, citing numerous examples from various religious traditions. The author intends to dissect these beliefs further by examining the life of Jesus, the doctrines surrounding his divinity, and the rituals associated with his worship, ultimately challenging the reader to reevaluate the accepted narratives of Christian theology.
