Between 50 and 90 CE, the various writings that comprise the New Testament were written, including the four Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles of Paul, and other letters to more general communities of the early Church. But what is recognized as the 26 books of the New Testament today, in literally hundreds of English translations, actually took several more centuries to be determined as "canonical" by the Church.

Is Stonehenge a stone hinge? As early as 10,000 years ago, early man knew of parallel universes. Not from quantum theoretical models but from face-to-face interaction with their denizens.

Und dies wird aufgezeigt werden ohne "irreparablen Schaden" zu verursachen, wie A.N. Wilson befürchtet, und zwar aus zwei Gründen: Zuerst einmal muss die Wahrheit erzählt werden. Und zweitens wird die Erklärung der ursprünglichen Wurzeln des Christentums im Alten Ägyptischen Kontext den Idealismus des Christentums bereichern.

Henry Mulford Tichenor (1858 - 1922) was a writer and journalist, who was a very active free thinker in the early Twentieth Century. A special target of Tichenor was organized religion, which he viewed as an absurdly contrived cultural artefact. In The Olympian Gods he applies a critical scalpel to the religion of the ancient Greeks, which he regarded as an obvious precursor to Christianity.
