This is a classic reprint of a hard-to-find, religious treatise. It posits a fair & rational exposition that provides authoritative timeline context to its argument & refutation (historical analysis). Simply stated, it dispassionately questions the factual existence of Jesus and the Apostles, while calmly & intelligently questioning and/or discrediting some of the ""superstitions,"" historical atrocities, and general religious assumptions of the Christian faith, with regard to the benefit, good sense, and integrity of the common man. It was written during the height of the golden age of freethought in America (circa 1900), even though it was penned (by text evidence) in the United Kingdom. And the author chose to remain faceless by simply using the nondescript moniker of ""Investigator.""
