Publisher: Prometheus Books
Dewey Decimal Number: 270.1
Publication Date: 1993-08
Reading Level: 168
 
Description: One of the most important rationalists of his era takes readers through the ancient world to show how Christianity appropriated the ceremonies and myths of paganism to elaborate the Resurrection story. McCabe cogently demonstrates that the Jesus of the gospels is not historical but a curious amalgam constructed after his death, and the gospels themselves are unreliable as biographies.

Dewey Decimal Number: 225.92

"The Peter of the Acts and of the later literature is a legendary person; of this there can be no doubt. His portrait is so shot-through with mythical features that it is quite impossible now to isolate any 'historical kernel' from the surviving reports."

An appendix by Frank R. Zindler contains English translations of all biblical passages cited, as well as English versions of all citations from church fathers and classical Greco-Roman authors.

Dewey Decimal Number: 211
Publication Date: 2003-09
Reading Level: 258
 
Description: Exploring the confrontation between atheism and the lower classes' traditional beliefs, this work offers a fresh interpretation of early Soviet efforts to create an atheistic, scientific society. Contrary to Bolshevik assertions, religious practice proved to be not merely an expression of gullibility and ignorance but a firmly entrenched system for ordering family and community relationships. Efforts to abolish the Church failed because the proponents of atheism underestimated how tightly religious beliefs were woven into the fabric of Russians' daily lives.

Description: What is a conservative atheist? Isn't that an oxymoron? Well, Frank Cress thinks that it is a valid position and, in fact, thinks he can convince you that the conservative atheist position is most rational of all. Come along for discussion on a wide variety of subjects ranging from abortion to gay rights, from raising atheist children to software development techniques. If you are an atheist with socially conservative values you will probably find most of your thoughts expressed here-maybe even for the first time ever in print. Even if you disagree with some or most of the material you'll find this effort to be thought provoking and unique in presentation.

Binding: Paperback
Author: Thomas Paine
Publisher: American Atheist Press
Dewey Decimal Number: 232.12
Publication Date: 1993-12-01
Reading Level: 95
 
Description: Until the publication of this annotated edition, Thomas Paine's third part of "The Age Of Reason" was extremely rare and almost unknown. Titled "Examination of the Prophecies," the book examines all the supposed prophecies of Jesus in the Old Testament alleged by the evangelists of the New Testament. With great wit and penetrating logic, Paine showed that not one of the Old Testament passages cited had anything to do with the Christian's would-be Messiah. Paine appears to have been the first writer in English to suggest that Jesus was not an historical figure.

Frank R. Zindler's marginal notes and commentary examine the Greek and Hebrew texts of the verses being discussed. They show that Paine, who knew no ancient languages and knew of none of the important biblical manuscripts that would be discovered after his death, was astonishingly correct in his critique.
