This book delves into the historical origins and development of Christian practices such as baptism and the Eucharist. It traces their evolution from Jewish and pagan customs, through their transformation in the hands of early Christian leaders, to their eventual incorporation into the Catholic Church. The author contends that many of these practices, including the emerging hierarchy of priests, were influenced by Greek and Roman philosophical ideas and pagan rituals. The book explores the tension between early Christian beliefs and the adoption of these external practices, shedding light on how Christianity evolved from its humble beginnings to become a complex and influential institution.
