This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of Modern Religious Ideas This volume is based upon the Earl L'ectures, given before the Pacific Theological Seminary, at Berkeley, California, in September, 1912. A number of years ago, in response to the request of Doctor James M. Whiton, I promised to write a book on the Antecedents of Modern Theology, as one of a series dealing with modern religious thought. Circumstances delayed its preparation, and, when the invitation was received to give the Earl Lectures, it seemed wise to take a kindred theme as the subject of the course. With the gracious approval, both of the seminary authorities and of the editor of the series, the present volume, which contains the sub stance of the lectures, but in a different form and considerably enlarged, appears as the first of the series on modern religious thought.

This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religious Ideas of the Old Testament Scripture is shown by its fundamental conception of religion as the personal fellowship of God and man. Prior to the New Testament, and judged simply from the stand point of comparative religion, the Old Testament offers the purest and noblest example of that conception. The proof of the reality of that fellowship is the moral emphasis which characterises the religion of Israel. The author of this book is much, indebted to Dr. G. Buchanan Gray and the Rev. David Stewart, m.a., who have read it in manuscript, and rendered valuable help by their numerous criticisms and suggestions. He has also to thank the Rev. H. O.

Download or read book The Making of Religion Classic Reprint written by Andrew Lang and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Making of Religion is author Andrew Lang's examination of how various groups throughout history arrived at the idea of God. Lang's book argues that divine intervention may be necessary for humans to approach the recognition of an all-powerful god, and he uses psychological, anthropological, and historical research to present his argument. The first section of the book examines phenomena that were unexplainable at the time, and thus lead certain peoples to begin constructing the concept of a higher power. Lang also examines miracles, and how these unexplained events led people to belief in God. The latter portion of the book tackles the history of the development of the idea of God. Lang examines how the idea of God evolved throughout different societies, ultimately arguing that man's "primitive logic leads him to seek for a cause or maker of things." Lang's book is not always politically correct, and some of the classifications of ethnic groups as "low savages" may offend some readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ethics of the Great Religion Among those who take little or no trouble to analyse their beliefs there is still to be found a vague but widespread idea that morality is the offspring of religion, and that, if the established faith of a country is destroyed, a general dissolution of ethical obligations is certain to follow. A few considerations may be brought forward to show that this idea of the origin of morality is a mistaken one and the apprehension as to its future groundless. The common notion that the Bible is the source of our. Moral conceptions is not merel at variance with the facts, but is discredited by the Bible itself. Whiz shows clearly that, long before the actual records were written, such conceptions were recognised and acted upon by the persons whose history is related. Indeed, a very early moral perception is implied by the legendary story of Eden, the significance of which lies in the fact that man had by disobedience to a divine command attained a knowledge of good and evil, which apparently it was intended he should never In-this - incident the theological mind sees a '5 Fall, while the reasoning mind sees a rise the first stage in the growth of a normal and necessary experience. The fallacious explanation hides a germ of truth; but it is a strange perversity that insists on such a palpable myth being accepted as veritable history.

Download or read book Religion and Life Classic Reprint written by James Reed and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion and Life Religion has relation to life, and is inseparable from it. The word is derived from a Latin word which means to bind back. The primary and all important idea expressed in it is that of binding, of Obligation and accountability to a higher and anterior power. The truly religious man feels re sponsibilities of which others know nothing. He is conscious of having bound himself to a better life, and a nobler service, than any which the world can offer him. In a word, he has undertaken to act in all things not from himself, but from God, -to do, not his own selfish pleasure, but his Heavenly Father's will. He feels his own need of the Divine Presence. To him it is not enough to understand and believe. He must worship. He must bow down in prayer. He must establish and feel a personal relationship between himself and God. He must go to the Lord in a devout and humble Spirit, trying to come under the Divine influence, in order that his life may grow into accord with the Divine life.

Download or read book The Christian Idea in the Modern World Classic Reprint written by Raymond Calkins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Idea in the Modern World A large number of people, both young and old, brought up under the influence of historic Christianity, have begun seriously to question whether the Christian Idea is fitted to the actual conditions of our modern world. The distance seems to widen between the idealism of far-away Galilee and the battle-ground of life today. The Christian Idea seems to many people to be true neither to the facts of human nature nor to the facts of human life. The contrast is sharpened by those who insist that Jesus' teaching of love outlaws the use of force, inculcates literal non-resistance, and insists on peace at any cost. To vindicate the reasonableness and practicability of the Christian Idea, to show that it is the only one which does justice to all the elements of human nature, and is the only one which can be trusted to deal adequately with the prob lems of our modern world, is the purpose of these chapters. The material in this book was used originally in sermons and addresses by the author. It has been entirely revised for the present publication.
