How and Why Scriptures Are Made Sacred

An impartial analysis of the emergence of Christian teaching, its centuries-long editing, and dissemination around the world. The work relies on numerous scientific data, including those that are little known to the unprepared public. The entire Christian and quasi-Christian semantic field is presented as a historical-political and value construct created for specific purposes. Many unpopular questions in the history of religion are examined. Here are just a few of them:
• Are the messages of the Apostle Paul true?
• Who, when, and for what purpose recognized Jesus Christ as God?
• Why did the Latins invent the crucifixion of Christ?
• How and when was Christianity in its Latin modification introduced in Russia?
• Why did the usury doctrine appear in the Old Testament?
• What is the role of Catholics and Jews in the introduction of the Old Testament as a «holy book» in Russia?
