Author Description

Excerpt from The Christ Myth: A Study Napoleon I., in his conversations with Wie land, expressed his disbelief in the historical existence of Christ; but that declaration seems to have made but little impression upon his hearer, and was, apparently, received without comment by later readers of the statement, Napoleon not being considered an authority in such matters, although his logical faculty and mathematical genius were indisputable. At present this question is vital and impera tive. It lies at the basis of the whole struct ure of Biblical criticism, and the answer lurks between the lines in all the reports of modern investigation.
