Paul Moore's vocation as an Episcopal priest took him from prominence as an activist to two decades as the bishop of New York.

A new edition of this account of the death of John Paul I, murdered because he was about to allow the ordination of women and to accept homosexuals as full members of the church.

The author, who crossed the ocean twice to visit Walt Whitman in Camden, NJ, was the first person to advocate in the English language for gay rights.

The subject of religious origins is complex and yields many aspects for consideration. In 1920, when Pagan & Christian Creeds was first published, few realized that Christianity had sprung from the same root as Paganism and shared by far most of its doctrines and rites.

In this classic study are considered three paths in the evolution of religion: the connection of religious rites and observations with the sun and other astronomical bodies, leading to the invention of remote deities in heaven; the second involving religion with the earth, nature, and seasonal changes; the third linking religion with the human body, aspects of fertility and undying life. So too covered is the process which divinities and demons were created and rites for their propitiation and placation established.

Contemporary readers seeking answers to the question of what caused the appearance of faith and the phenomenon of religion will find this book invaluable study.
