Autorul constata ca, la inceputuri, oamenii il cunosteau doar pe Dumnezeu, care era considerat autorul binelui si raului, deopotriva. Diavolul reprezinta o inventie ulterioara, menirea sa fiind aceea de a permite un control eficient al oamenilor din partea bisericii si nu numai. Autorul analizeaza, in principal, scrierile religioase ebraice si crestine, constatand ca ideile de diavol si de iad au fost introduse pentru a exploata frica si ignoranta oamenilor, arme nepretuite la indemana preotilor de pretutindeni. Dogma pedepsei eterne este forta calauzitoare a religiei crestine, iar autorul prezinta sorgintea mitologica a acesteia.

Known to be a masterpiece of freethought literature. The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors has been out of print but sought after for many years. A small part of it was reprinted in The Book Your Church Doesn't Want You to Read in 1994, thereby causing renewed interest. Many people are unaware that before Christianity there were 15 other religions that also had a savior who died for their sins, then arose from the dead. Graves gives all the details inside, plus much more found in common like the immaculate conception of the gods, virgin born gods, magi, shepherds and angles who visit the infant saviors, the birthday of the gods being December 25th, plus an explanation as to how Jesus began to be worshipped as a God. Some scholars are suggesting that Jesus had spent time in India. One chapter in this book discusses 346 striking analogies between Christ and Chrishna, the Hindu god. Could this same story have travelled from India rather than the man himself? Could this everpresent story, "the greatest story ever told, " be the common link between all early religions? Has the purpose of religion, in general, been designed to provide all of mankind with a common set of beliefs, to keep us from learning the real truth for ourselves? It is difficult to answer these questions, and it probably always will be, but this book offers us a small step closer to the answers. It shows that Christianity is not alone and special in its beliefs, and may cause us to explore further into the origins of religion.
