Dr. Oliver concluded that one of the major weaknesses of our nation and
civilization was its religion, which had been, since the latter years of
the Roman Empire, some form of Christianity. With the objectivity of
the scholar which he in fact was, he has set out over the last decade
and a half of his life to trace the religion to its roots in the Middle
East and to analyze the birth and mutation of its basic characters and
ideas. The result is this book.
