Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Text Book in Comparative Religion First of all, in the Old Testament, we have the beginning of human worship, the origin of religion. We have the worship of Jehovah standing out for ages supreme and alone. Then we have the advent of other religions, departures from the original worship, not approaches to it, but departures, separations, substitutions, and usurpations. We have the worship of the Host of Heaven, Bel worship or Baal worship, Moloch worship, Dagon worship, with the, beginnings of nature worship, of hero worship, of ancestor worship, and of other kinds in addition. In connection with the abundant Old Testament disclosures on Comparative Religion we have in Romans I, in the New Testament, a divine sum mary of the whole world's experience and of God's irreversible judgment in the entire case.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Comparative Religion It may not be amiss to remark that this book has been perforce written under great disadvantage, on account Of the impossibility of access to many valuable sources Of illustra tion such as abound in libraries in Great Britain and America; for in such a small and out-of-the-way station as has been Of late the author's home in India, such helps are prao tically not obtainable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comparative Religion: Its Adjuncts and Allies These successive publications, though representing in themselves valuable and substantial results, were how ever only so many steps leading towards a goal which had been kept in view from the very outtet. At the same time, the experience gained in the preparation of these books steadily deepened a conviction that had very early asserted itself, viz. That Comparative Religion would never come to its own until its right to be pursued as a separate and self-governing discipline came to be generally conceded. Hitherto, this line of research has been regarded and expounded as a mere'adjunct of Theology, Philowphy, History, or some other depart ment of study; in future, it must be accorded a recognition commensurate with the rank to which it is demonstrably entitled. A plea to this general effect was advanced, and briefly supported, in a paper read by the author at the Third International Congress for the History of Religions, -held in Oxford seven years ago.'

Let us recall, as a preliminary step, the methods and scope of the Science Of Religion. It is essential that one or two of the con siderations which such a survey suggests should be clearly borne in mind. By 'the Science of Religion' we mean that increasing group Of studies, diverse yet closely interrelated, by which man is seeking to unravel the mystery of his religious acts and aspirations. In particular, the Science Of Religion is the product of the deliberate investigation of the facts Of religion - and Of all the facts, whatever their relative age, number, or consequence - when these data are dealt with in accordance with some clearly defined scientific method. These methods have varied very greatly, and naturally they have been applied with varying degrees Of proficiency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Comparative History of Religions, Vol. 1: Ancient Scriptures IN the work, of which this is the first part, it is proposed to exhibit a general view of all religions in their relations to one another. Without presuming to treat so vast a subject exhaustively, the writer believes that a simple statement and classification of the doctrines and practices of religion, and the facts of their historical development, as far as known, will help towards a scientific comprehension of the whole. At present, its materials are an utter chaos, in which superstition and unbelief alike find refuge, and the wildest assertions on both sides elude exposure. To compare and arrange what we know partly, enables us to know it better, and is some advance towards understanding what would otherwise remain unknown. Truth is always served by that work, however brief or feeble, which goes to clear up the order of facts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
