Logan Mitchell (1802–1881) was a British freethinker and writer.[1]
Mitchell is best known for his book The Christian Mythology Unveiled. Mitchell committed suicide in November 1881. He left a large sum of money for any bookseller to publish his book.[2] It was printed several times under different titles, most notably by the Freethought Publishing Company in 1881.
Mitchell was an advocate of the Christ myth theory.[3] His views have been compared to Robert Taylor's.[4]
Jesus Christ in the New Testament, has no reference whatever to any event that ever did in reality take place upon this globe; or to any personages that ever in truth existed: and that the whole is an astronomical allegory, or parable, having invariably a primary and sacred allusion to the sun, and his passage through the signs of the zodiac; or a verbal representation of the phenomena of the solar year and seasons.[5]
