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.

Their inveteracy explains, too, the inertia with which the progress of higher ideas has to contend, the Violence of reaction against reforms, the swiftness of de cadence. But only in so far are these elements the object of the historian's concern; their origin and affinities belong to the anthropologist with the religions of modern savages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religions of the World To some it may seem unnecessary to treat the religion of the Hebrews, Judaism, and Christianity in a textbook which forms a part Of an educational series in which whole volumes are devoted to these subjects, but no book on the religions Of the world would be complete from which a treatment Of these great religions was absent, and it Often gives the student a new sense Of the value Of these religions to study them briefly in comparison with the other religions Of the world. If the time devoted to the course is too brief to permit the study of so many religions, and if the religions of Israel and Christianity are studied in other parts Of the curriculum, chapters iv, v, and xv may be omitted from the course.

This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prolegomena of the History of Religions I do not doubt that all real students of the History of Religion have by this time read M. Beville's book in the original. But the interest in the Science of Religion is spreading rapidly and widely, and there are large classes of English readers who seldom see a book which is published abroad, and who are more easily reached by an English translation. I hope, therefore, that M. Beville's book in its English trans lation will be read even more widely in England than it has been and I trust that it may help to remedy the injury which has of late been done to the Science of Religion in this country, both by its indiscriminate enemies and by its indiscriminate admirers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Religions In this brief outline of the Story of Religions, the aim of the writer has been to indicate the leading principles which underlie the great religions of the world; to show how these beliefs have arisen, and how they have developed in the history of mankind. The various forms of ritual and worship associated with each cult are sketched out, and an attempt is made to show the influence which each particular form of faith has exercised upon the national and private life of its adherents. While claiming that the Supreme Deity is the source of all Truth, no attempt has been made to dogmatise on any controverted points of faith or practice. The facts connected with the religions of the world are set forth as clearly as possible, but the inferences to be drawn from such facts must be left to the individual judgment of each reader of this little book.

Download or read book The Religion of Ancient Egypt written by William Matthew Flinders Petrie and published by Binker North. This book was released on 1906 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Religion of Ancient Egypt is a classic religious studies text by the great pioneering English egyptologist, W. M. Flinders Petrie. Before dealing with the special varieties of the Egyptians' belief in gods, it is best to try to avoid a misunderstanding of their whole conception of the supernatural. The term god has come to tacitly imply to our minds such a highly specialised group of attributes, that we can hardly throw our ideas back into the more remote conceptions to which we also attach the same name.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Orpheus: A General History of Religions I am deeply conscious of the moral responsibility I assume in giving for the first time a picture of religions in general considered as natural phenomena and nothing more. I believe that the times are ripe for such an essay, and that in this, as in all other domains, secular reason must exercise its rights. I have tried not to wound any conscience; but I have said what I believe to be the truth with the emphasis proper to truth. I do not think that the persecution of the Bacchanals by the Roman Senate.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Comparative History of Religions, Vol. 2 Of such junctures five, at least, have entered so deeply into the life of mankind that general history cannot be recorded intelligibly without them. These are, first, the change whereby, out of the Simple patri archal religion, there was gradually constructed a legal system of religious Observances: secondly, that whereby the legal observances were, in some quarters, adopted and inspired by a monotheistic reformation; thirdly, that whereby in the extremity of legal bondage and degradation, a reaction of reason was created against it; fourthly, that whereby, in the hopelessness of ra tional unbelief, men threw themselves back into legal bondage, or sustained a rational faith by a philosophic system; and fifthly that which was effected by the introduction of Christianity.
