About this title

Synopsis

Lost Light: An Interpretation of Ancient Scriptures, written by author Alvin Boyd Kuhn, is centered around his belief that the bible is not actually based on Judea, but is actually founded from Egyptian origin. Kuhn argues that he can prove that the bible is made up largely of ancient Egyptian texts. This is a key work by author Alvin Boyd Kuhn and is popular among individuals interested in his alternative biblical theories. Many readers often purchase Lost Light with Kuhn's other highly acclaimed title Shadow of the Third Century, which is also available from FQ Classics.

Présentation de l'éditeur

2015 Reprint of the 1940 edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Highly influenced by the work of Gerald Massey and Godfrey Higgins, Kuhn contended that the Bible derived its origins from other Pagan religions and much of Christian history was pre-extant as Egyptian mythology. He also proposed that the Bible was symbolic and did not depict real events, and argued that the leaders of the church started to misinterpret the bible at the end of the third century. Many authors including Tom Harpur and John G. Jackson were influenced by the works of Kuhn. Harpur even dedicated his best-selling 2004 book, "The Pagan Christ" to Kuhn, calling him "a man of immense learning and even greater courage" and "one of the single greatest geniuses of the twentieth century" [who] "towers above all others of recent memory in intellect and his understanding of the world's religions." Harpur notes that Kuhn gave nearly 2,000 public lectures which were lengthy, detailed and well-attended, but suggests that Kuhn's self-publishing may have resulted in a lack of attention to his work.
