Joseph McCabe (1867-1955) was a Catholic priest and scholar who abandoned his faith in the 1890s and later became a very prominent secular activist. He published over 250 books and pamphlets, covering a wide range of genres, including history, politics, biography, and popular science.
However, the bulk of McCabe’s writings is focused on religion, in particular, Christianity, which he was uniquely qualified to discuss.
In Pagan Christs, he subjects the historical claims of Christianity and the validity of scripture to a searching for critical analysis.
