In a shrinking world in which religion has become as much a motivation for war and terror as an inspiration for saintliness and benevolence, it is more important than ever that we understand faiths other than our own. Where did they come from? How did they begin? Were their legended founders real historical individuals? How do their beliefs shape their actions? Which faiths are mutations of older ones? Many otherwise helpful introductory volumes cover only the most populous religions and, fearing most readers will shy away from going deeply into important detail, they wind up grossly oversimplifying. By contrast, Robert M. Price’s Houses of the Holy fills in these blanks comprehensively and does so in clear, straightforward language, without cheating the necessary complexity. Here you will find fascinating coverage of a full dozen religious faiths, including several you have likely never even heard of!

    Robert M. Price
    It has become a near-universal assumption that Jesus was a courageous champion of Pacifism and non-violent resistance. But for many years, a few maverick scholars have made the case for Jesus having been an armed insurrectionist. This version of Jesus is the "black sheep" of gospel studies, unthinkable equally to conservative and liberal Christian scholars, who want the histori...

    What if we have been missing a whole stage of how the canonical gospels came to be? What if there were a whole raft of prior Jesus narratives, the fragmentary vestiges of which now appear in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? This would explain why these gospels seem over-crowded with incompatible understandings of Jesus ("Christologies")? In The Gospels Behind the Gospels, innovat...

    Robert M. Price
    While Christian faith cannot be reduced to mere superstition, few would deny that Christianity is too easily plagued by superstition.
