One of his best-known works is Myth, Magic, and Morals from 1909, later reissued under the title The Origins of Christianity. This has been read both as a strong criticism of the Jesus myth theory, making Conybeare a supporter of the historical Jesus; but also as an attack on aspects of orthodox Christianity itself. He returned later in 1914 to make a direct assault on leading proponents of the time of the Jesus-myth theory.
Coneybeare also worked as a translator and translated two volumes of Philostratus' The Life of Apollonius of Tyana for the Loeb Classical Library. He also translated The Testament of Solomon.
