Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Religion Needless to add that in so large and inexhaustible a field a bibliography will only have practical value for the readers for whom this series is intended if it represents a selection out of the great mass. With few exceptions I have read and consulted the works, monographs, and articles enumerated, and recom mend them therefore from personal knowledge of their contents. With a view of presenting the Bibliography in a more systematic fashion, it has been divided up into sections corresponding so far as possible to the main divisions of the book itself. The preference has been given to publications in English, though of course German, French, and Dutch works come in for a large share. My very dear and esteemed friend, Mrs. Caspar Wister, has placed me under lasting obligations by kindly undertaking to read one proof of the entire work; and as I go over the pages for the last time, I find everywhere traces of her most skilful revision. The index has been prepared by Miss Katherine S. Leiper, and I wish to take this opportunity of thanking her for the intelligent care and painstaking accuracy with which she has carried out what was necessarily an arduous task.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Religions Here, then, were telling examples of activity, admirable in certain particulars, and of temporary value, but dangerous for their tendency to thwart other individual efforts. And the examination of the vicissitudes and principles of these intellectual systems proved exceedingly fruitful for the understanding of the principles that really make for progress. Moreover, in addition to the group of facts presented by certain departments of the world of thought, other impressive evidence was furnished by the sincere and well-meant efforts, in the world of life, to reform people according to the ideas and ideals of the reformers. But a little reflexion shows, however, that the progress of mankind does not seem to have been due to what all would-be reformers - whether saints, states men, socialists, or scholars - have tried to impose, but upon what the average thought could assimilate. Men can be raised to a higher plane, they cannot be driven or forced there. There must be a feeling of autonomy, participa tion, and responsibility. The factors in progress - still incompletely known - cannot be severed, either from the principles that Should actuate those who desire to benefit their fellows, or from our conceptions of God. In a word, the study of the factors in the progress of thought and in social and political life, is inextricably interwoven with our theories and convictions of God's work in the Universe. No one need doubt that all reformers and reforming aims in all departments of life and thought - political, social, and intellectual - are sincere and well-meant. From their own point of view they are doubtless noble, inspiring, and benevolent. But they are relatively specialistic and individualistic; and the point of view of those-to-be reformed demands attention, the more especially in an age of democratic aspirations.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Comparative Religion The hartford-lamson Lectures on The Re ligions of the World are delivered at Hartford Theological Seminary in connection with the Lam son Fund, which was established by a group Of friends in honor of the late Charles M. Lamson, D.D., sometime President Of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, to assist in preparing students for the foreign missionary field. The Lectures are designed primarily to give to such students a good knowledge of the religious history, beliefs, and customs of the peo ples among whom they expect to labor. As they are delivered by scholars of the first rank, who are authorities in their respective fields, it is expected that in published form they will prove to be of value to students generally.

Book Synopsis Tutors Unto Christ by : Alfred E. Garvie
Download or read book Tutors Unto Christ written by Alfred E. Garvie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tutors Unto Christ: Introduction to the Study of Religions There are many books on the subjects dealt with in this volume, and if it were only a reproduction of their contents, it would not have been written. My own experience in lecturing to students preparing for the mission-field and my conversations with those who are interested in missionary education have forced on me the conviction that there is need and so room for a book written from the special standpoint and for the distinctive purpose of this volume. The danger of the students I have in View is that in their study, to use a homely phrase, 'they may not see the wood for the trees they may lose their way among details, and miss essentials. They need a guide and a guide for the course which will lead them to the goal they seek. No other book I know does exactly what I have at least tried to do, with what measure of failure or success it is for others to judge. I have written as one who believes, heart and soul, in the foreign mission enterprise, and gives it such help as he can but I trust I have put down nothing in prejudice or partiality, although nothing with in difference. The purpose of the volume necessarily determines the treatment. I trust the volume is not unscholarly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religious Studies for Laymen: Studies in Theology Three things are attempted in the present revision of the First S eries of Studies in Theology. First of all the arrangement of the chapters has been changed. The purpose has been to secure, if possible, a more consist ent order in the presentation of subjects. It has been difficult to do this because each lecture was first given entirely independent of the others, and therefore had no necessary logical connection with them. The purpose only was to consider related lines of thought in order to secure a point of view from which to take up later some of the problems suggested thereby. The present attempt to secure a logical order can be but imperfect for the reason that no such order originally existed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Christianity The Essays have not been written for special ists, nor for professional unbelievers, but solely to relieve some of the difficulties under which popular religious thought labors because of misunderstanding. Indeedl the entire volume might be described as _an aid to progressive or thodoxy, or as_a_n to combine the new theology with the __old religion. That the future as well as the past belongs to the old religion I am perfectly sure. This religion has often been ignorantly and inadequately conceived, and even caricatured at times by its disciples, but it has the advantage over all its competitors and proposed substitutes of being alive; and life counts for much in organic history, spiritual as well as physical. At the same time the old religion may need a new theology for its better expression and formulation, and in this sense a new theology may be a valuable aid to the old religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comparative Religion: Its Adjuncts and Allies These successive publications, though representing in themselves valuable and substantial results, were how ever only so many steps leading towards a goal which had been kept in view from the very outtet. At the same time, the experience gained in the preparation of these books steadily deepened a conviction that had very early asserted itself, viz. That Comparative Religion would never come to its own until its right to be pursued as a separate and self-governing discipline came to be generally conceded. Hitherto, this line of research has been regarded and expounded as a mere'adjunct of Theology, Philowphy, History, or some other depart ment of study; in future, it must be accorded a recognition commensurate with the rank to which it is demonstrably entitled. A plea to this general effect was advanced, and briefly supported, in a paper read by the author at the Third International Congress for the History of Religions, -held in Oxford seven years ago.'

The Bible I have studied most thoroughly, and am well versed in the Buddhist Scriptures, the Zend Avesta of Zoroaster, the Analects of Confucius and Mencius, and the Koran, and have read the Book of Mormon, Brahmanic literature, and his tory generally, ancient and modern.
