Index of the Project Gutenberg Works of M. M. Mangasarian

A striking collection of essays invites listeners to question long‑held beliefs about Christianity and its symbols. Beginning with a bold inquiry into whether Jesus is a historical person or a myth, the author lays out the contradictions found in ancient texts, early art, and pagan traditions. The first part balances scholarly references with vivid illustrations, guiding the audience through a tapestry of symbols that predate the cross and the crucifixion narrative.

The second half turns its keen eye toward the Bible itself, probing how its stories were assembled, edited, and interpreted across centuries. From debates over authorship to the moral teachings hidden within its pages, the work challenges listeners to reconsider what “inspired” truly means. Thought‑provoking and accessible, the essays open a dialogue about faith, history, and the human desire for meaning, making the collection a compelling companion for anyone curious about the foundations of Western religion.
