More > biblical legends and the mysteries that created Christian rites, ceremonies, and codes of behavior. Kuhn argues that the sacred scriptures of Judaism and Christianity do not portray historical truths, but symbolic and mystical metaphors.

Kuhn’s research provides a clear understanding of the allegorical interpretations of the scriptures and their significance to a deeper, more profound Christianity. He traces the historical and philosophical origins of Christian thought to illustrate that Jesus was one of many incarnations of an enduring archetype that has surfaced in many religions. In fact, those who wrote the scriptures may have never even intended the focus to be on Jesus, the man.< Less

This paved the way for drastic changes and errors in fundamental belief. In just a very short time, Christianity had changed so much that the Apostles would not have recognized it. These errors are still with us today. The practical effect of all this was that Greek Philosophy replaced the teaching of the Bible.< Less
