Written by a devout Christian, this book shows how revering the cross is based on lies, deception, and ignorance.
At the time it was released, books of this sort, which challenged accepted belief, were often banned from libraries and people were known to be arrested for sending them in the mail..
This book has not been in print since 1871.
Ward shows how the lies began, who spread them, and how and why they did it.
Revering the cross is based on lies, deception, and ignorance.
Its lack of Worship is part of Christianity\'s foundational beliefs and its exclusion should be part of the religion\'s current structure, according to Ward.
Not worshipping the cross is consistent with early Christianity and is not heretical.
Idols were not to be worshipped by the earliest of Christians, and the cross was no exception to this rule.
Why, then, was this book written if it goes against traditional beliefs and acceptance? It is because the traditional beliefs surrounding the cross and its Worship are wrong! It took time for us to eventually accept the cross in its current form and to Worship it and, according to Ward, this was a Pagan symbol that should never have been adopted.
It comes from a devout Christian, Henry Dana Ward, a believer in Christ who backs himself up with scholarly research and facts.
But this book is completely different.
The most extreme claims against the religion come from the atheist camp and often remain unproved.
Some claims regarding the Church\'s History are accurate, some are not.
As many have suspected, there is much more to the true, authentic History of the Christian religion than what we had originally been told.
