"Christmas Before Christianity" by Lochlainn Seabrook New Illustrated Hardcover

300 pgs. Subtitle: How the Birthday of the "Sun" Became the Birthday of the "Son" Even the most orthodox Christian theologians and fundamentalist Bible scholars admit that Jesus’ exact birth date is unknown.Why then is His birthday observed between late December and early January around the world? As award-winning Christian author and Southern historian Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook reveals in this fascinating and exhaustively researched work, the answer is to be found in the Goddess-based vegetation religions of prehistory and their astrological reverence for our neighborhood star, the Sun. Ten years in the making, this book explores the pre-Christian foundations of humanity’s most popular holiday, including the many Pagan gods, goddesses, myths, rituals, legends, ceremonies, customs, and beliefs that contributed to its creation and development. Special emphasis is placed on ancient Egypt, where a majority of our modern “Christmas traditions” can be traced. This sensational 300-page work will not only provoke discussion, but will also inspire a renewed appreciation for both the religion of Christ and for the annual celebration of His birth. Note: Southern conservative and U.S. President Thomas Jefferson, who was disgusted by the Paganization of the historical Jesus, would have heartily endorsed this book. Printed on 50 lb. quality creme paper. About the Author: American polymath, Lochlainn Seabrook has written over 90, non-fiction books, published by Sea Raven Press
