Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient India: Its Language and Religions The little band of workers who are busy in the workshops of this department of science, have not been accustomed to have the eyes of other men turned upon their doings - their successes and failures.

Download or read book The Religions of India written by Allan Menzies and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-05 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religions of India: Brahmanism and Buddhism I'he study of religions outside of Christianity has now overcome many of the prejudices which hindered its earlier growth. It has no longer to contend with the suspicion that the effort to understand other religions will make us attach less value to our own. On the contrary, the tendency of the study of religions is seen more and more to strengthen the hold of Christianity upon us. The student of this science is led to see very clearly how all men need religion and have provided themselves in one way or another with access to'the powers above them. But it happens very rarely that even the most sympathetic study of a foreign religion leads anyone to prefer it to his own. In contemplating other faiths, we do, it is true, become aware that some features of Christianity are stronger than others and do more to qualify it to spread over the world. We have to distinguish between the essence of Christianity, in which lies the secret of its power, and its accidental features. That surely must confirm and not weaken the tie that binds us to Christ. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Proceedings of the Convention of Religions in India, Vol. 1 of 2 As promised in the Preface to Vol. I, we have made an attempt to give an outline of the evolution of religious ideas beyond India in our Introduction to the present volume. The relation of the Aryan religion to the rest of the religions represented in these volumes has been traced out side by side with their indepen dent growths, from the lives and sayings of the Teachers of the respective religions. But owing to the vastness of the subject and consequent want of space we might not have been able to do full justice to the different systems of religion dealt with. We therefore crave the indulgence of our readers for any short-comings that might have crept into it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

And the two things that astonished Him were the faith of a heathen, and the want of faith of His own people in His own home. It was a' man of alien race and civilisation who opened up to the thought of the chosen people of God the riches of a faith which they had supposed peculiarly their own.

Editor and writers alike desire to work in the spirit Of the best modern science, looking only for the truth. But, while doing so and seeking to bring to the interpretation of the systems under review such imagination and sym pathy as characterize the best study in the domain of religion to-day, they believe they are able to shed on their work fresh light drawn from the close religious intercourse which they have each had with the people who live by the faith herein described; and their study of the relevant literature has in every instance been largely supplemented by persistent questioning of those likely to be able to give information. In each case the religion described is brought into relation with Chris tianity. It is believed that all readers in India at least will recognize the value of this practical method of.
