Abstract

This thesis discusses an explication of the key criticisms Mark Twain levies against modern day Christians, the Church, and God. While some scholarly sources are employed, the main comparison of Twain’s Letters from the Earth comes from the book he most often references in Letters: the Bible. This work also examines a few select points of his later life in the context of his writing.
