Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Idea of God in Early Religions In The Varieties of Religious Experience the late Professor William James has said (p.465): 'The religious phenomenon, studied as an inner fact, and apart from ecclesiastical or theological complications, has shown itself to consist everywhere, and at all its stages, in the consciousness which individuals have of an intercourse between themselves and higher powers with which they feel themselves to be related. This intercourse is realised at the time as being both active and mutual.' The book now before the reader deals with the religious phenomenon, studied as an inner fact, in the earlier stages of religion. By the Idea of God may be meant either the consciousness which individuals have of higher powers, with which they feel themselves to be related, or the words in which they, or others, seek to express that consciousness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of the Idea of God: An Inquiry Into the Origins of Religion From the very beginning, however, a legend, true or false (but whose truth or falsity has no relation whatever to our present subject), gathered about the personality of this particular Galilean peasant reformer. Reverenced at first by a small body of disciples of his own race and caste, he grew gradually in their minds into a divine per sonage, Of whom strange stories were told, and a strange history believed by a group of ever-increasing adherents in all parts of the graeco-roman Mediterranean civilisa tion. The earliest of these stories, in all probability - cer tainly the one to which most importance was attached by the pioneers of the faith - clustered about his death and its immediate sequence. Jesus, we are told, was crucified, dead, and buried. But at the end of three days, if we may credit the early documents of our Christian faith, his body was no longer to be found in the sepulchre where it had been laid by friendly hands and the report spread abroad that he had risen again from the dead, and lived once more a somewhat phantasmal life among the living in his province. Supernatural messengers announced his resur rection to the women who had loved him he was seen in the flesh from time to time for very short periods by one or other among the faithful who still revered his memory. At last, after many such appearances, more or less fully described in the crude existing narratives, he was suddenly carried up to the sky before the eyes of his followers, where, as one of the versions authoritatively remarks, he was received into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God - that is to say, of Jahweh, the ethnical deity of the Hebrew people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Idea of God The idea of God is so variously defined that we make bold to say that every single individual has a conception of his own. There are no two alike, and the idea of God among different persons is indic ative of their character, for every man creates his God in his own image. There was a brave officer in the Austrian army nu der Prince Eugene. When once in his presence the problem of God's existence was discussed, he clapped his hand on his sword and said: Gentlemen, I stand up for God with my sword, I challenge whoever denies him and, so help me God, I'll conquer him. I hope that God will stand up for me, too, on the day of judg ment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religious Ideas of the Old Testament Scripture is shown by its fundamental conception of religion as the personal fellowship of God and man. Prior to the New Testament, and judged simply from the stand point of comparative religion, the Old Testament offers the purest and noblest example of that conception. The proof of the reality of that fellowship is the moral emphasis which characterises the religion of Israel. The author of this book is much, indebted to Dr. G. Buchanan Gray and the Rev. David Stewart, m.a., who have read it in manuscript, and rendered valuable help by their numerous criticisms and suggestions. He has also to thank the Rev. H. O. Rowse, m.a., for assistance in the correction of the proofs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Enlarging Conception of God OF all the forms of human hunger, none are more persistent and universal than the hunger for the spiritual. Man's search for God is as plain a fact as his search for food. To one who sympathetically traces in history this spiritual search, the pathos, the greatness, the sacredness of the quest for religious reality is awesome. No famine has ever starved and devastated like spiritual famine. On the other hand the great, courageous, conquering spirits of earth have been those who have gone forth in the power of the spirit. Spiritual religion has been the energy of all great achievement. The motive and the leader ship of all human progress have been supplied by men and women who, like Jesus, have had meat to eat which their followers knew not of.

Download or read book Do We Need written by Edmund H. Reeman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Do We Need: A New Idea of God? That there is need for a reinterpretation of life and a restatement of religious faith in the light of democratic outreach and impulse would seem unquestionable. There is a whole world of difference between the philosophy and world-view of the ages that gave us the historic creeds of Christendom and the philosophy and world-view of the present day. We live, indeed, in an entirely new world of thought; science has reconstructed the story of creation and written it anew in the language of the most thrilling romance, and democratic triumphs have gone far toward revolutionizing the social aims and conceptions of the world's politics. And yet in spite of these facts conventional religious teachers for the most part persist in proclaiming their message in the language and thought-forms of the early and darker ages, with the result that instead of interpreting life in a way that gives men courage and enthusiasm to face its responsibilities, the teaching of religion more often serves to confuse their thoughts, muddle their minds, and dissociate their common activity from the great life struggle of the universe.

Book Synopsis God in the Old Testament by : Robert Alexander Aytoun
Download or read book God in the Old Testament written by Robert Alexander Aytoun and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from God in the Old Testament: Studies in Gradual Preception The use of the Old Testament in religious training is still a problem, both to teachers and parents. There is a tendency in some quarters to ignore the Old Testament or to use it only as a foil to the New. This is unfortunate as the positive contribution of the Hebrew Scriptures to the maintenance of personal religion is far greater than such neglect or depreciation would suggest. In dealing with this problem we need a combination of critical honesty and fearlessness with a sense of continued indebtedness to the record of God's progressive revelation. Such a union of criticism and devotion may be found in the present volume. It is the work of one who was himself a thoughtful, experienced and inspiring teacher. The manuscript was left practically complete but not finally revised by the author when he was taken from us by an early death. In many places it lacks the literary finish which is found in his other published work and which no editor can give without going beyond his office. With the minimum of necessary revision the book is now published, as a token of gratitude and love, by those who were Robert Aytoun's students at Woodbrooke. The book itself will show something of his qualities as a teacher, but it is only fitting that the witness of the book be prefaced by some few particulars of his life and character.

Book Synopsis Zeus, a Study in Ancient Religion, Vol. 1 by : Arthur Bernard Cook
Download or read book Zeus, a Study in Ancient Religion, Vol. 1 written by Arthur Bernard Cook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 1026 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Zeus, a Study in Ancient Religion, Vol. 1: Zeus, God of the Bright Sky Chrysostomos in a memorable sentence declared Zeus to be 'the giver of all good things, the Father, the Saviour, the Keeper of mankind.' On the lower levels and slopes of this splendid spiritual ascent the Greeks found themselves at one with the. Beliefs of many surrounding peoples, so that a fusion of the Hellenic Zeus with this or that barbaric counterpart often came about. On the higher ground of philosophy and poetry they joined hands with a later age and pressed on towards our own conceptions of Deity. I have therefore felt bound to take into account not only the numerous adaptations of Levantine syncretism but also sundry points of contact between Hellenism and Christianity. It is obvious that the limits of such an enquiry are to a certain extent arbitrary. I shall expect to be told by some that I have gone too far afield, by others that I have failed to note many side-lights from adjacent regions. Very possibly both criticisms are true.

Download or read book The Making of Religion (Classic Reprint) written by Andrew Lang and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Making of Religion is author Andrew Lang's examination of how various groups throughout history arrived at the idea of God. Lang's book argues that divine intervention may be necessary for humans to approach the recognition of an all-powerful god, and he uses psychological, anthropological, and historical research to present his argument. The first section of the book examines phenomena that were unexplainable at the time, and thus lead certain peoples to begin constructing the concept of a higher power. Lang also examines miracles, and how these unexplained events led people to belief in God. The latter portion of the book tackles the history of the development of the idea of God. Lang examines how the idea of God evolved throughout different societies, ultimately arguing that man's "primitive logic leads him to seek for a cause or maker of things." Lang's book is not always politically correct, and some of the classifications of ethnic groups as "low savages" may offend some readers.

Download or read book The Religion of Ancient Egypt (Classic Reprint) written by W. M. Flinders Petrie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of Ancient Egypt There are in ancient theologies very different classes of gods. Some races, as the modern Hindu, revel in a profusion Of gods and godlings, which are continually being increased. Others, as the Turanians, whether Sumerian Babylonians, modern Siberians, or Chinese, do not adopt the worship of great gods, but deal with a host of animistic spirits, ghosts, devils, or whatever we may call them; and Shamanism or witchcraft is their system for conciliating such adversaries. But all our knowledge of the early positions and nature of great gods shows them to stand on anentirely different footing to these varied spirits. Were the conception of a god only an evolution from such spirit worship we should find the worship Of many gods preceding the worship of one god, polytheism would precede monotheism in each tribe or race. What we actually find is the con trary of this, monotheism is the first stage trace able in theology. Hence we must rather look on the theologic conception of the Aryan and Semitic races as quite apart from the demon-worship of the Turanians, Indeed the Chinese seem to have a mental aversion to the conception of a personal god, and to think either of the host of earth spirits and other demons, or else Of the pantheistic abstraction of heaven.
