Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foundations of Religion We cannot properly understand things (men, events, beliefs, practices) unless we view them in their context, in the whole of which they are part, in the light of the preceding and following stages. The ape and the man are remarkably alike - or unlike - it depends upon the particular group of details (resemblances or differences) and the only critical estimate will be based upon both groups of evidence, and will refer the ape and the man to their environments and to their place in evolution. So, too, a religion (e.g. Christianity) may have remark able resemblances with other religions whether (1) now current, or (2) historically prior to it but it would be unwise to base an estimate upon those features alone or upon the differences alone. And if we proceed on these principles we must apply the same method to ourselves what we condemn in others may be virtually identical with something in ourselves, and what we think meritorious in our friends may be found in our foes. The fundamental resemblances will be obscured because of the fundamental differences, or vice versa. And if we pursue this further and compare men who are warmly enthusiastic and keenly zealous, we should find most interesting points of resemblance, so that the fiery religionist and the violent rationalist would have certain fundamental psychical similarities although their bodies of beliefs and practices might differ fundamentally. 0f.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foundations of Faith: A Lecture The geologists demonstrated that the author of Genesis was mistaken as to the' age of the world, and that the story of the universe having been created in six days, about six thousand years ago could not be true.

Download or read book Foundations of Religion in the Mind and Heart of Man Classic Reprint written by John Barnard Byles and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foundations of Religion in the Mind and Heart of Man Theological controversy, in the ordinary sense of the word, has in these pages been as much as possible avoided. A layman is neither qualified, nor disposed to thread the interminable maze. But, on the other hand, he is more at liberty than a clergyman of any Church or Sect can be, or ought to be, to say all, and exactly what he thinks. Some readers may complain, that positive conclusions have not been pushed further. But the object has been to labour on common ground, especially for the benefit of the young and uninstructed (for whom alone the author presumes to write), by showing in a popular manner, on how broad, solid, and immovable a foundation religious Faith, Hope, and Worship repose to cheer and fortify sincere and anxious hearts, whatever form of the Christian religion they may have embraced. It is plain, that this end must have been entirely frustrated, had the narrow tenets or interests of any particular Church, sect, or party, been directly or indirectly advocated or attacked.

Download or read book On a Foundation for Religion Classic Reprint written by William Mackintire Salter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On a Foundation for Religion Further, the order of the world seems to us not a thing conferred, but inherent and necessary. If matter were essen tially inert and forceless, and once so existed, it would be a natural supposition that the wonderful combinations of ma terial particles in the crystalline and vegetable and higher orders of being resulted from the controlling hand of a superior Intelligence. But this is a gratuitous and un founded conception. Matter is attended with forces of various kinds, and is perhaps in the last analysis itself force, that needs only certain conditions to enable it to manifest its active power. And these forces we regard as competent to the production of all the varied phenomena of the world; and as we must think of them as always existing, we have no occasion to suppose that they had an author, or were consti tuted or endowed so that they might produce their results. The smooth pebble we find on the beach cannot be other than smooth the crystal is due to the co-operation of forces that could issue in no other than just these regular forms.

Download or read book Foundations of Christian Belief written by Francis L. Strickl and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foundations of Christian Belief: Studies in the Philosophy of Religion It will be seen at once that the scope of religion and the complexity Of the problems it presents make its treatment by a philosophical method far from simple, for in the systematic study of the religious life we are not dealing with forces which are constant and invariable like those, for instance, dealt with in physics. We are dealing, rather, with phases of life as they manifest themselves in those variables named human belief, emotion and will. In other words, we deal with life on the plane Of the personal. This makes a philosophy Of religion particularly difficult. It also makes it all the more important that we develop a proper method, a method which will recog nize constantly that when we deal with religion we are dealing with personal life, and with a great factor in human history which has always stood in the closest relation to the practical concerns of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foundations of Faith: Being a Consideration of the Grounds of Religious Belief, and Especially of the Evidences of Divine Revelation in the Religion of the Bible One who ascends a mountain sees the landscape below changing on his view from every new point of observation. The general features of forest and field, river and plain, are much the same, but the outlines of the picture are changed. The horizon falls further away; new mountains show their misty tops, and new realms come faintly into View. Meantime objects near at hand appear to change in, relative importance; some that were conspicuous sink out of sight, and others, which they for a time concealed, stand out in bold pro file. Increasing knowledge furnishes to each succeeding generation a new view point from which to contem plate religion, natural or revealed. In this change of view we still recognize the old staple supports of faith - arguments which will forever stand firm from age to age; but new truths also come into view, and the old arguments give new suggestions. They change in their relative value when viewed through a changed perspective. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foundations: A Statement of Christian Belief in Terms of Modern Thought The modern world is asking questions. Christianity and its traditional theology have come down to us from an age very different from our own, an age when the sun and the stars moved round the earth, when the meaning of natural law and evolution was only dimly apprehended, when the psychology of religion, the historical method and the critical study of ancient documents were yet unborn. These things touch the foundations of the old beliefs, and it is about the foundations that the world is asking.

This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Biological Foundations of Belief The past two decades have witnessed the rapid growth of an interest in the psychology of religion. Many books have been written in this field since the publication in 1902 of William James's Varie ties of Religious Experience. The recent develop ment of psychology into behaviorism suggests the importance of a behavioristic study of religion. Such a study should reflect the biological tendencies of behaviorism. It should deal with religious be lief in terms of human behavior, having effects upon individual and racial survival. This book attempts to do just this - to study the biological foundations of belief. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
