Book Description
Excerpt from The Christian Eucharist and the Pagan Cults: The Bohlen Lectures, 1913 H. A. A Kennedy has just published his important book, St. Paul and the Mystery Religions, which deals with the subject in a more direct and exhaustive manner. Apart from these publica tions little has been done to meet the positions represented even by such books as that of Robert son's Pagan Christs; and consequently the assertions that Christian sacramental ideas are essentially pagan have commanded the field. For some time the subject has been a centre of attention in Germany and France; and it is for this reason that the references in these lectures to German and French books are comparatively numerous. A few of these books have already been translated into the English tongue and it is possible that in the near future others of them will be made accessible to the English reader; for our interest in the relation of Christian to pagan sacramentalism is likely to increase. The central point of the interest is undoubtedly the origin of the Real Presence, technically so called. Did it come into Christian sacramental ism from the Mystery-religions? Much of our critical scholarship believes that it did; and the burden of these lectures is the examination of the evidence on which this belief rests. Is the evi dence sufficient to substantiate it beyond a doubt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
