Crowley On Christ: Aleister Crowley Francis King: HB: Daniel Books 1974 printing

Description: Crowley on Christ by Aleister Crowley with De Arte Magica appended From the Introduction by Francis King: "[H]ere is a treasury of Aleister Crowley's wit, wisdom and criticism which, even if it was the only book its author had written, would suffice to rebut the slander that Crowley was a pleasure-seeking fraud.... Originally entitled, The Gospel According to St. Bernard Shaw, this work was intended as a destructive critique of Bernard Shaw's Androcles and the Lion, but, as Crowley wrote, it became transformed into a detailed, intensely readable and most amusing analysis of the Life of Christ, of the Gospels, and of Christianity itself -- a definitive study of the orthodox religion of Europe and North America from the point of view of Crowleyan magick." This is a hardcover copy in Good condition. The dust jacket bears some paint marks on the spine and some dirty marks which are visible just inside the folds and at the top, back edge. The dust jacket also has tiny tears at the top corners, a 1.5-inch tear on the bottom, back, and some creasing near the front, bottom.
