This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter iii the beginnings of christianity: literary evidence When and how Christianity was first introduced into Egypt is quite unknown. The tradition which makes Saint Mark the first preacher of the gospel in Alexandria is probably of the third century and has no historical foundation, although it was widely received after the first ages of the Church and continues to this day. Eusebius mentions it in his Ecclesiastical History but only as a traditional report1, while the Alexandrian list of bishops from Mark downwards is quite an artificial production from which little or nothing can be learnt2. Nevertheless, about 180 A.D., when the Church in Alexandria first appears in the daylight of history, it is a flourishing institution with an organization and school of higher learning attached which must have already made its influence felt far beyond the city itself. Eusebius tells us that "thousands...were martyred from Egypt and all the Theba'is" during the persecution of Septimius Severus in 202 s A.D., and Clement writing at about the same 1 H. E. n. 16. 2 Harnack, Chronologie, I. pp. 124 and 202 S. 8 H. E. vi. 1, 2 and 3. date tells us that Christianity had spread to "every nation, village and town1." Allowing for exaggeration on the part of Eusebius we see accordingly that while the pagan religious systems were undergoing the modification and decay described in the last two chapters Christianity had been making great strides. But the literary evidence is extremely scanty as to this period, while the archaeological is scattered and uncertain. One thing however is certain, viz., that all our evidence must be examined in the light of what has already been said about the changing and decaying religions which formed the environment of the...

Book Description
Excerpt from Paganism and Christianity in Egypt The present work was very nearly completed at the time of the author's death, but had not received his final corrections. It is known that he intended to write an additional chapter summarising his conclusions, but no trace of this has been found among his papers. Hence two sentences have been added within brackets on p. 219 in order to round off the chapter. A few additions have also been made in the rest of the volume and placed within brackets, and any references which were wanting have been filled in. The editors have been assisted in the reading of the proofs by two other. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Revival of Atumism: The Ancient Egyptian Religion Part 1

Book Description
The word Atumism derives from ‘Atum,’ the manifestation of the All-Lord in creating the sphere of earth and the creature Adam. The words ‘Atumian’ and ‘Atumianity,’ addressed here by the meaning of ‘Human’ and ‘Humanity,’ are derived from ‘Atum’ who is ‘Adam.’ In the Egyptian literature, there is a thin line that differentiates ‘Atum’ and ‘Atum.’ Why denominate the Egyptian Religion by the term “Atumism”? The answer is found in multitude of diverse notions embedded in the Egyptian speech and makes the term in its profoundness the most right for a religion that has been of divine revelation millennia ahead of A. D. This book is a fusion of the earlier research titled “Ancient Egypt: The Primal Age of Divine Revelation, Volume I and II.
