Not Paul, but Jesus

About this book

In a time of profound theological debate, Jeremy Bentham's "Not Paul, but Jesus" emerges as a critical examination of early Christian doctrine. Bentham argues that the teachings of Saul of Tarsus, or Paul, significantly deviate from the core messages of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the importance of moral reasoning over dogma. This philosophical critique challenges the interpretations of faith that have shaped religious discourse for centuries, advocating for a return to the original teachings of Jesus. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work invites readers to explore the implications of unalienable rights and moral philosophy in the context of religion. Engage with Bentham's thought-provoking insights and reconsider the foundations of belief in a modern world.
