The Mistakes of Jesus

The Mistakes of Jesus is by William Floyd. The contents list sections under headings such as Antiquated Theology, which includes The Virgin Birth and The Atonement, and False Impressions, which includes Jonah and the Whale and Miracles, among others. The text says that if Jesus was not perfect, according to modern standards, it is important that his status as God, or man, should be revised.

The text says Higher Critics refuse to credit the book of Genesis, according to the first chapter of which the trees, beasts and fowls were created before man, but according to the second chapter after man. The text says that in the parable of the pounds the nobleman, seemingly with the approval of Jesus, denounced the servant as wicked who did not put his lord's money in the bank to draw interest. The book says principles are superior to persons, and that a dead personality remains unchanged while live ethical principles can be developed by more complete knowledge of evolutionary processes.
