In this work, author Rev. Robert Taylor proposes that God and the Devil are one and the same. He was a major proponent of the "Christ Myth Theory" which stated that the historical Jesus Christ did not exist. On the remote chance that Christ did exist; he had nothing to do with Chrsitianity. Taylor created the Christian Evidence Society to promote these teachings while attacking the Anglican liturgy and the Establishment for what he called its "Pagan creed". Contents Include: Raising the Devil; The Star of Bethlehem; The Holy Ghost; Judas Vi
