Pagan and Christian Creeds: Their Origin and Meaning is a book written by Edward Carpenter that explores the similarities and differences between the pagan and Christian religions. The book delves into the history of both religions, examining the roots of their beliefs and practices. Carpenter argues that there are many similarities between the two religions, and that Christianity borrowed heavily from pagan traditions. He also discusses the meaning behind various religious symbols and rituals, and how they have evolved over time. The book is an insightful and thought-provoking analysis of the two major religions that have shaped Western civilization. It provides a unique perspective on the origins of these religions and their impact on the world today.Contents: Solar Myths and Christian Festivals; The Symbolism of the Zodiac; Totem-Sacraments and Eucharists; Food and Vegetation Magic; Magicians, Kings and Gods; Rites of Expiation and Redemption; Pagan Initiations and the Second Birth; Myth of the Golden Age; The Saviour-God and the Virgin-Mother; Ritual Dancing; The Sex-Taboo; The Genesis of Christianity; The Meaning of it All; The Ancient Mysteries; The Exodus of Christianity; Conclusion; Appendix on the Teachings of the Upanishads: Rest; The Nature of the Self.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
