Jeremy Bentham was a British philosopher, jurist, social reformer and the founder of modern utilitarianism. He is in the row with the greatest thinkers Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, John Keynes, John Locke, and Alfred Marshall.  Their thoughts had strong influence on building the foundation of the United States and its endeavor of open society.

In Not Paul, But Jesus, Jeremy Bentham argued that the books of the Bible ascribed to Paul were not divinely inspired due to the numerous fallacies and contradictions contained within them. In Bentham’s view presented by the book, Paul’s works even contradict the teachings of Christ and plays the role of an anti-Christ by making Christ subservient to Paul in the doctrine of Christianity.

Jeremy Bentham’s work produced great influence on utilitarianism, philosophy, jurist, and economics. His influence has been felt in nearly every field of the humanities and social sciences.

The reasoning by Jeremy Bentham still remains as relevant today as it was then.   This book is one of the most important ones about the deepest thoughts of Paul, Christ, Bible, and Religion by Jeremy Bentham, one of the greatest thinkers of modern economics and philosophy on the planet.
