Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""The Similarity of Christian and Pagan Ritual"" by W.R. Halliday explores the connections between Christian and pagan rituals. The author argues that many Christian practices and beliefs have roots in pagan traditions. He examines various rituals, such as baptism, communion, and the celebration of Christmas, and compares them to similar practices in pagan religions. Halliday also discusses the historical context in which these rituals developed and the ways in which they have evolved over time. The book provides a thought-provoking perspective on the relationship between Christianity and paganism and offers insights into the shared cultural heritage of these two traditions. It is an interesting read for anyone interested in the history of religion and the evolution of cultural practices.THIS 18 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Pagan Background of Early Christianity, by W.
