The Historical Origin of Christianity Paperback – August 1, 1998

Brilliant historical context with superb scholarship! A true masterpiece.

I received this book timely and it was exactly as advertised. I started reading as soon as I received it, and WOW!!! The information contained in this book is almost unbelievable, however, after fact checking some of the information, I'm convinced, I purchased the "real deal." Thanks to this author, he has expanded my knowledge on the Origin of Christianity. Many blessing.

Could change how you view and feel about everything you've ever heard regarding "His-Story" and "His view of Christianity as well. Some of you will have a hard time accepting the truth this book illuminates thoroughly. This is mostly because the people we love the most taught us what they knew, no fault of theirs at all; which is the European American bastardized version of Christianity. Ever wonder why every or most every picture you see of Jesus is the blond/brown haired blue eyed surfer dude? How the oppressor looks just like the savior? Anyone who is enlightened knows that was done purposely.Anyway this is a very concise and to the point read. This book should have been a New York Best Seller. I'm sure it would have been had it been given any promotion. But hey "they " cant even handle critical race theory lol. BTW I hate that title. Theory? Isnt a theory an idea? One that can be debated whether its true or not? Critical Race Theory is a passive title for what should be called the Truth! Real history not propagandized history. No matter what your faith is , have the courage to sincerely open you mind when reading this book. BTW Islam does not get a pass either. Same story different actors. I love all my Christian and Muslim friends and family. And I respect their faiths but would wish they would educate themselves on the origins of their faiths and some reasons those faiths exist.

Too many people believe without any foundation of why, what it is I believe, who gave it to me, why was it given to me, where did it come from and why one religious mythology is more believed that others. Its also fascinating to me that Europeans claim to have created the world thru there god-man but all these religions originated on the continent of Africa-Kemet. Europeans stumbled into Kemet around 332 BC. African-Kemet was in to there 3rd or 4th Dynasty-maybe 5th dynasty, Europeans had no language, no culture, un-civilized savages-but proclaims to this day the world started with greeks and romans. If proper admittance/acknowledgement is rendered the truth must be told! Any language/writings/alphabet came from the Ancient African Egyptians.Your abc-s are from the Kemitic-black Africans origins. So in essence you/me in america-we are in the third world-maybe forth. AFRICA-KEMET is the FIRST WORLD and where they attempted to teach/train/civilize all of humanity. Just to think those that rule the world HAVE NO HUMANITY! To enslave another, burn, kill, rape men/women/children/hang/castrate/decapitate/eat other people, how can they be human. They are human-kind. All the riches of the europeans have come mostly stolen from Africa-Kemet, right now there're taking land, killing Africans with there medicines, stilling oil, diamonds, gold,other precious minerals/resources. Selling and claiming African resources as there own, renaming, countries, etc. The europeans/asians hate themselves. One must hate themselves to commit the crimes they've committed and still commiting today to the Ancient Africans (all black and all the time) several shades and facial structures were they!

Great research.

I love the book. This book has backed up its claims with evidence. I have since separated myself from the questionable religious paradigm. I always had suspicions that something was not right". And I learned exactly what happened historically. The power I have as a black person, on this plane, but it is suppressed through programming through lies.

Dr. Walter Williams, is in a class of his own. He takes a position on history that is different from all that I know of and have heard and read. He takes a staunch analytical approach to history, by doing a superb job of separating history from religious tradition.Dr. Williams, shows how the first European Pharoah, Ptolemy I Lagi changed his name to "Soter", which is the root word for soteriology. In other words, he is the first historical individual who called himself a saviour. He later pressured the Egyptians to create a saviour image, which became Serapis. Serapis was created from the Apis Bull and Osiris, which are two ancient Egyptian deities. Eventually this image was changed into Jesus Christ through church councils.Dr. Williams, takes you through the first few ecumenical councils that laid the foundation of Christianity. He shows them from a different perspective. His wife later discusses the creation of the letter J, and Dr. Williams himself discusses why he does not accept the Champollion decipherment of the Egyptian Heiroglyphics.Great book for beginners, which will give you a side of the story of Christian origins that the church, whether Catholic or its many Protestant sects aren't discussing. Many seem to overlook what happened during the last days of the greatness of Egypt and how Christianity itself, obviously had a connection to Alexandria, Egypt.

This book is very informative and easy to read
