Christianity: Its Evidences, Its Origin, Its Morality, Its History

"Christianity: Its Evidences, Its Origin, Its Morality, Its History" by Annie Besant is a deep dive into the core ideas behind Christianity, probably written a long time ago. The book looks closely at the evidence and stories about Christianity, questioning where it came from and if its beliefs and history are true. Besant wants to give reasonable arguments for why people should turn away from Christianity, using a freethinker's viewpoint. It starts off by checking out the old writings about the life of Jesus Christ and the start of the Christian church. The author points out that there's not much proof from that time to back up the big events in the Gospels, like miracles or even if Jesus was a real person. Besant wonders why famous historians from that time, like Josephus and Tacitus, didn't write about Jesus or his miracles, saying that these missing pieces make the Christian stories seem less believable. This approach goes beyond just questioning the facts of Christian claims, opening up a bigger conversation about what it means to believe or not believe these things from a logical point of view.
