Myth, Magic, and Morals. A study of Christian origins.

London:: Watts & Co., 1910., 1910. 8vo. xxviii, 382, [6] pp. Index, ads. Original full dark green gilt-stamped cloth. E. E. De Henseler bookplate. Very good + copy. Second edition (first issued in 1909), with additions and corrections. "One of his best-known works is Myth, Magic, and Morals from 1909, later reissued under the title The Origins of Christianity. This has been read both as strong criticism of the Jesus myth theory, making Conybeare a supporter of the historical Jesus; but also as an attack on aspects of orthodox Christianity itself. He returned later in 1914 to make a direct assault on leading proponents of the time of the Jesus-myth (truncated) theory." - [Wikip]. / Frederick Cornwallis Conybeare, FBA (14 September 1856 - 9 January 1924) was a British orientalist, Fellow of University College, Oxford, and Professor of Theology at the University of Oxford.
