The Life and Exploits of Jehovah

In The Life and Exploits of Jehovah (first published in 1915) Tichenor presents, in lively and mocking prose, the troubling history of the temperamental deity of the ancient Israelites, from the mists of antiquity to the Reformation. In the final chapter, he provides a catalogue of abuses perpetrated by fanatical believers and asserts that the recognition of human rights has advanced as religious practice has become less doctrinaire.
