Christianity Not Mysterious | 
so-so(1696) Toland argues that there are no mysteries in Christianity, though he does it by defining "mystery" very narrowly. Toland's real target seems to be the accumulated philosophical and ceremonial baggage of Christian tradition. He pissed a lot of people off in 1696, but this feels very innocuous to me, very "sola scriptura." Of course this isn't the seventeenth century and I'm not in its target audience, so I'll seek out some of his critics too
swynn I should have added: This was not only banned but burned in Ireland in 1696, and the author had to flee the country. Read #BannedBooks , y'all. 2y
