Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religions of Mankind A small book was published in 1918 entitled The Faiths of Mankind. It belonged to a series of College Voluntary Study Courses, and was prepared with that end in View. Since that time the desire has been repeatedly expressed that the writer prepare a volume with a wider public in View. The needs of the general reader and ministers were to be kept in mind as well as students in their college and seminary courses. Coming directly out of contact with students in the classroom, it is inevitable that the form of the present book and the selection and arrangement of material should be determined by that experience. The guiding principle has been not to overload the text with a multiplicity of facts, but to select and make use of such facts as are relevant to the main lines of development, and to make clear their meaning and relationships. To inter pret facts has been looked upon as important as to present them. One of the main problems with students is to prevent the confusion which results from presenting great quantities of material which they are not prepared to assimilate and make use of intelligently.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Faiths of Mankind, Vol. 2 This book is intended for those who have never made a study of the religions of the world. The purpose has been to present the various religions in such a manner as to create intelligent and sympathetic interest in every form of reli gion. The attempt to make this volume conform to the other volumes of this series has been 'by no means easy. This has. Been felt in three particulars. I. The need of daily Bible readings has been recognized and they have been provided, but they are of necessity very short. The fact that in each case they deal with some phase of the religion under consideration should count for some thing in making up the loss of a more extended reading.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Mankind: Their Origin and Destiny In ancient times this was not the case, as will presently be shown. Theology was based upon such science as existed at that time, and Science and Theology were consequently in harmony with each other. This harmony has long ceased to exist in consequence of the rapid progress which Science has made, while Theology has remained unchanged. One great cause of this has been that adherence to the literal interpretation of the Scriptures which has prevailed for more than a thousand years to the exclusion of every other, although St. Jerome has said The most difficult and Obscure of the holy books contain as many secrets as they do words: that is to say too little: they conceal many things under each word. Several learned works have been written to explain the secret, that is the real, meaning Of these books, and this volume contains a brief abstract Of the most impor tant of these, which are wholly unknown to English readers, combined with much original matter and information from other sources.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religious History of Man: Tracing Religion and Superstition From Their Source IN the following pages, the nature of the instruction, in Divine things, given to mankind, at various periods, is enquired into; and the influence of that instruction, on their religious cus toms and opinions, traced. Those opinions have been so various, and the modes of worship so multiform, that it would be hopeless to attempt such an enquiry within the limits of the present volume, were it to be accompanied by an analysis, or even an outline, of each system of faith, or form of devotion, which has had its day, of adoption and of rejection, in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Religions In the course of this volume we shall study the roots and the higher growth of this tree, which through its age long development, as any tree changes its earth-drawn sustenance into something more ethereal, has transmuted terror into reverent awe, hunger into hope, lust into love. We shall trace the slow progress of such roots of religion as bear today the names taboo, fetishism, totemism; see how taboo invested with spiritual power the moral com mand, insured the home, and made for civilization; how fetishism confirmed the thought that man depends on a spiritual something, gave faith in a power that helped, and made that power the judge of right and wrong; how totemism linked man in communion with the divine and in conjunction with seasonal nature-worship founded ritual in the recurrent form necessary to religious stability. We shall see in short that the higher not only is above the lower but that it has ascended out of the lower. Savagery did not give place to civilization but developed into it, was already civilization in the germ. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

There are books of reli gion and books about religion, and there are still greater books both of and about religion, writ ten by men who do not believe that to under stand feeling one must be devoid of it but who dare to philosophize with the whole man in the conviction that it is possible to live and at the same time to understand life.
