Pagan Origin of Partialist Doctrines

"Pagan Origin of Partialist Doctrines" by John Claudius Pitrat is a historical and theological exploration arguing that specific Partialist doctrines, especially within Christianity, stem from ancient pagan beliefs. Through scriptural and historical analysis, Pitrat aims to expose these connections and their influence on contemporary religious thought. The book starts by establishing two core arguments: one grounded in scripture and the other in historical fact. Pitrat suggests that ancient civilizations' worship of nature played a crucial role in forming later religious beliefs, including elements now seen in Christianity while promising to elaborate on the rituals and beliefs of Pagan mysteries and their influence on some Christian beliefs.
