Description

The Devil's Pulpit by Robert Taylor is a collection of sermons that challenged the rigid religious dogma of his time. In 1831, Reverend Taylor was indicted for blasphemy and sentenced to prison for questioning the accepted teachings of the Church. Taylor's spirited arguments explored the roots of Christianity, drawing parallels between pagan sun worship practices, Greek and Roman mythology, ancient Egyptian society, astrology, and astronomy. He argued that many New Testament stories were reworked versions of much-older pagan myths and astrological allegories. This work remains a deeply disturbing and thought-provoking exploration of doctrinal dissidence, one that directly influenced forward-thinking minds of his generation.
