USIn these three classic essays The Forgery of the Old Testament, The Myth of Immortality, and Lies of Religious Literature, Joseph McCabe (1867-1955), ex-priest and the world's greatest scholar, exposes the inconsistencies, absurdities, and outright mendacity that lie behind the most revered texts and truths of Christianity. With forcefulness, clarity, and often biting humor, McCabe attacks two millennia of Christian tradition which, he says, must withdraw before the weapons of science and reason.
