Publisher's Synopsis
This short but intriguing work is the result of early 19th century protestant rationalism. Eschewing superstition while accepting both Jesus and the general mode of Christian worship, Quitman here identifies (rightfully) pagan and occult elements sprinkled into Christendom along with Judaism and Islam.Along with this come various folk superstitions, incantations and the sort, and a bit of discourse on that old serpent the Devil.
