Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religions of the Ancient World: Including Egypt, Assyria and Babylonia, Persia, India, Phoenicia, Etruria, Greece, Rome It is not the aim of the present writer to produce a Science of Religion, or even to speculate on the possibility of such a science being ultimately elabo rated when all the facts are fully known. He has set himself a more prosaic and less ambitious task that, namely, of collecting materials which may serve as a portion of the data, when the time comes, if it ever comes, for the construction of the science in question. A building cannot be erected without materials; a true science cannot be constructed with out ample data.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient World and Christianity There seems to us a peculiar interest at the present time in tracing by the light of history, the manifestations and victorious eflorts of this great moral force. We recognise fully that in such an investigation, facts must not be wrested to support theories, and that impartiality is a sacred duty.

Download or read book The Religions of the Ancient World written by George Rawlinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religions of the Ancient World: Including Egypt, Assyria and Babylonia, Persia, India, Phœnicia, Etruria, Greece, Rome This little work has originated in a series of papers written for the Sunday at Home in the years 1879 and 1881, based upon Lectures delivered in the University of Oxford, from the chair which I have the honour to hold. During the twenty-one years that I have occupied that chair, I have continually felt more and more that the real history of nations is bound up with the history of their religions, and that, unless these are carefully studied and accurately known, the inner life of nations is not apprehended, nor is their history understood. I have also felt that the desire to generalize upon the subject of ancient religions, and to build up a formal "Science of Religion," as it is called, has outrun the necessarily anterior collection of materials on which generalization might be safely based. I have, therefore, in my lectures to students, made a point of drawing their attention, from time to time, to the religious beliefs and practices of the various races and nations with whom my historical teaching has been concerned, and of exhibiting to them, as we was I was able, at once the external features and the internal characteristics of "The Religions of the Ancient World."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of Ancient Greece Influence of Modern Scientific Methods - The study Of religion as a whole is a tardy modern growth. SO long as religions were divided into one true and the rest false, progress was natu rally impossible. The slow pressure Of science introduced first the comparative, then the his torical method. The facts Of ancient and savage religions being once collected and laid side by side, it became immediately evident that there were resemblances as well as differences, and some sort Of classification was possible. Then came the historical impulse, the desire to see if in religion also there existed a law Of development, and if the facts Of religion succeeded each other in any ascertainable order.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of Ancient Rome The conditions of our knowledge of the native religion of early Rome may perhaps be best illus trated by a parallel from Roman archaeology. The visitor to the Roman Forum at the present day, if he wishes to reconstruct in imagination the Forum of the early Republic, must not merely 'think away' many strata of later buildings, but, we are told, must picture to himself a totally different orientation of the whole: the upper layer of remains, which he sees before him, is for his purpose in most cases not merely useless, but positively misleading. In the same way, if we Wish to form a picture of the genuine Roman religion, we cannot find it immediately in classical literature; we must banish from our minds all that is due to the contact with the East and Egypt, and even with the other races Of Italy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religions of the World It has been suggested that a list of books Should be appended for the sake of those who desire to pursue the fascinating study of comparative religion, but though this would be easy it seems unnecessary. The books which would suit one class of readers would be quite unsuitable for another class. It may, indeed, be well to point out here that, just as the best way to become acquainted with Christianity is to read the Bible, so those who would know the religions of the East, at anything like first hand, should read the Sacred Books of the East (clarendon Press), which have been so well translated into English in our day. This, however, would be too serious an undertaking for the average man. Failing this best way, there is no better series to read than that of the non-christian Religious Systems, published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. The student of these manuals will find in the foot-notes references to the. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Comparative History of Religions, Vol. 1: Ancient Scriptures IN the work, of which this is the first part, it is proposed to exhibit a general view of all religions in their relations to one another. Without presuming to treat so vast a subject exhaustively, the writer believes that a simple statement and classification of the doctrines and practices of religion, and the facts of their historical development, as far as known, will help towards a scientific comprehension of the whole. At present, its materials are an utter chaos, in which superstition and unbelief alike find refuge, and the wildest assertions on both sides elude exposure. To compare and arrange what we know partly, enables us to know it better, and is some advance towards understanding what would otherwise remain unknown. Truth is always served by that work, however brief or feeble, which goes to clear up the order of facts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paganism and Christianity If any great classical writers of the ancient world, like Seneca or Cicero, could come to life again, nothing surely would astonish them more than the descriptions they might read in our books of the state of the world when they left it, of its moral depravity, and the absence of the religious idea. One would gladly hear what they would say to it all; but, falling that, it only remains to enter as much as possible into their tone of thought, and to present the case between Christianity and Paganism as they might do if they could now speak for themselves, and had at their command eighteen centuries of Church history and all writings of the Fathers and theologians.

Download or read book The Alternative Tradition written by James Thrower and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-05-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration of religions as social systems – both in Western and non-Western societies; in particular, it examines religions in their differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their construction of identity, and their relation to society and the wider public are key issues of this series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christ and Other Masters: An Historical Inquiry Into Some of the Chief Parallelisms and Contrasts Between Christianity and the Religious Systems of the Ancient World There is no more striking aspect in the history of religion than the correspondencies which it from time to time exhibits in remote and disconnected quarters of the world. The scholar who investigates the laws of thought in almost any period, not confining his inquiries to a single people or one group of cognate tribes, is sure to be impressed with a belief that mighty and mysterious agencies do verily exist in the recesses of our spiritual nature, and that HE who regulates their action so as to produce phenomena which men are equally unable to create or to interpret, is not human but Divine.
