Pagan Trinity - Holy Trinity

Pagan Trinity - Holy Trinity

By Dickin Alan

Book Description

Professor Alan Dickin presents a fascinating exploration that connects the spiritual foundations of ancient Mesopotamia with the development of Judeo-Christian beliefs. Drawing from archaeological discoveries in what is now Iraq, this scholarly work reveals how the Sumerians created humanity's earliest organized religious system, one that would profoundly influence the faith traditions that followed.

The author demonstrates how familiar biblical narratives—including the Creation story, the Fall, the great Flood, and the Tower of Babel—find their historical roots in ancient Mesopotamian culture and belief. Through careful analysis, Dickin traces the evolution of the Christian Trinity concept back to the Sumerian pantheon, offering readers a deeper understanding of how spiritual concepts developed across millennia.

This synthesis goes beyond mere historical comparison to examine the nature of divine revelation itself and the profound mysteries associated with humanity's earliest spiritual experiences. The author investigates what he terms the "lost secrets of the Garden of Eden," providing fresh perspective on these foundational spiritual narratives.

Enhanced with over seventy detailed illustrations of ancient artifacts, along with maps and historical references, the book makes the rich civilization of Mesopotamia accessible to contemporary readers. For those seeking to understand the deep historical currents that shaped Western spirituality, this work offers valuable insights into the ancient origins of modern religious thought and the enduring human quest for divine connection.
