Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Idea of God in Early Religions In The Varieties of Religious Experience the late Professor William James has said (p.465): 'The religious phenomenon, studied as an inner fact, and apart from ecclesiastical or theological complications, has shown itself to consist everywhere, and at all its stages, in the consciousness which individuals have of an intercourse between themselves and higher powers with which they feel themselves to be related. This intercourse is realised at the time as being both active and mutual.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of the Idea of God: An Inquiry Into the Origins of Religion From the very beginning, however, a legend, true or false (but whose truth or falsity has no relation whatever to our present subject), gathered about the personality of this particular Galilean peasant reformer. Reverenced at first by a small body of disciples of his own race and caste, he grew gradually in their minds into a divine per sonage, Of whom strange stories were told, and a strange history believed by a group of ever-increasing adherents in all parts of the graeco-roman Mediterranean civilisa tion. The earliest of these stories, in all probability - cer tainly the one to which most importance was attached by the pioneers of the faith - clustered about his death and its immediate sequence. Jesus, we are told, was crucified, dead, and buried. But at the end of three days, if we may credit the early documents of our Christian faith, his body was no longer to be found in the sepulchre where it had been laid by friendly hands and the report spread abroad that he had risen again from the dead, and lived once more a somewhat phantasmal life among the living in his province. Supernatural messengers announced his resur rection to the women who had loved him he was seen in the flesh from time to time for very short periods by one or other among the faithful who still revered his memory. At last, after many such appearances, more or less fully described in the crude existing narratives, he was suddenly carried up to the sky before the eyes of his followers, where, as one of the versions authoritatively remarks, he was received into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God - that is to say, of Jahweh, the ethnical deity of the Hebrew people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Idea of God The idea of God is so variously defined that we make bold to say that every single individual has a conception of his own. There are no two alike, and the idea of God among different persons is indic ative of their character, for every man creates his God in his own image. There was a brave officer in the Austrian army nu der Prince Eugene. When once in his presence the problem of God's existence was discussed, he clapped his hand on his sword and said: Gentlemen, I stand up for God with my sword, I challenge whoever denies him and, so help me God, I'll conquer him. I hope that God will stand up for me, too, on the day of judg ment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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. Rowse, m.a., for assistance in the correction of the proofs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Idea of God written by Kenneth A. Dobbs and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What holds society together? How does civilization survive from collapsing in on itself? In this work, Kenneth A. Dobbs describes how religion is the cause of civilization’s rise and prosperity. Beginning with psychological theories on human nature, Dobbs establishes that humanity needs the religious values of truth, beauty, and goodness to flourish. He then proves this psychological theory by analyzing religion’s role in the historical developments of civilization in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Jerusalem, Greece, Rome, and Christendom. He also responds to rebuttals and objections against the thesis that religion is still necessary for modern civilization. The Idea of God explores the historical, political, and philosophical implications of both the implementation and rejection of religion within human civilization. Dobbs articulates religion’s necessary role in civilization, while also provocatively predicting Western civilization’s fate for rejecting religion: societal collapse. The book follows a long intellectual tradition of historians and philosophers who have argued a similar thesis including Polybius, St. Augustine, Arnold Toynbee, Russel Kirk, Richard M. Weaver, and Christopher Dawson. Dobbs reintroduces these classical ideas to the modern world.

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.
