Sets out to prove that morality was conceived of by the ancient Egyptians and that some passages in the Old Testament of a more elevated nature are taken from Egyptian writings. In essence, a book on the origins of Christian theology and an argument against any sort of divine revelation. Ultimately, a very thick book, and just not a compelling question for me.
Changed my life. Realized that religion created by man. Ethics and morality not imposed by a God.
