William Stukeley's Palaeographia Sacra
Like many of his contemporaries, William Stukeley (1687—1765), a Cambridge graduate, vicar and antiquarian, believed ‘heathen’ texts contained clues to early Christianity. Here, he argues that the ‘heathen’ Bacchus is the Jewish Jehovah and identifies ‘heathen’ knowledge of the Anglican Trinity through Bacchus as the son of Jupiter.
