Egyptian Mythology and Egyptian Christianity is a book written by Samuel Sharpe that explores the connections and similarities between ancient Egyptian mythology and early Christianity in Egypt. The book delves into the religious beliefs and practices of ancient Egypt, including the worship of gods such as Ra, Osiris, and Isis, and how these beliefs influenced the development of Christianity in Egypt. Sharpe also examines the role of Egyptian mythology in shaping the beliefs and practices of early Christian communities in Egypt, such as the Coptic Church. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the religious history of Egypt and its impact on the development of Christianity, making it a valuable resource for those interested in both ancient Egyptian mythology and the history of Christianity in Egypt.With Their Influence on the Opinions of Modern Christendom. �������When Christians shall at length acknowledge that many of those doctrines, which together now make up orthodoxy, or the religion of the majority, as distinguished from the simple religion which Jesus taught and practised; when they shall acknowledge that many of them are so many sad and lamentable errors; then, and not till then, will they seek to know their origin, and enquire from which of the several branches of Paganism they sprung. They will then see that most of the so-called Christian doctrines, that have no place in the New Testament, reached Europe from Egypt, through Alexandria.������� Contents: Religion of Upper Egypt; Religion of Lower Egypt; Religion Under the Persian Conquerors; Religion Under the Ptolemies; Religion Under the Romans; Christianity Under the Roman Emperors; Christianity Under the Byzantine Emperors.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
