Sinossi
Excerpt from Religious Systems of the World: A Contribution to the Study of Comparative Religion; A Collection of Addresses, Delivered at South Place Institute
Centres of Spiritual Activity, and Phases of Religious Development.
The Lectures were first designed to explain and illustrate the different Religious Movements of the day, for though most thinking persons are fully persuaded of their own belief, they are often unable to understand the standpoint of others equally earnest, and thus fail to do justice to men of different creeds. After the current divisions of Christianity and Modern Ethical Philosophies had been treated, it was thought that Ancient Religious Systems might also be profitably studied in the same manner, especially as the general public have very little opportunity of becoming acquainted with them, and not unfrequently mistake their mere accidents for their spirit and substance.
Some of the Lecturers have been so kind as to rewrite their essays for this volume, while the articles on the Religion of Egypt, Shintoism (second article), Zoroastrianism, Religions of Ancient Greece and Rome, Hittites, Quakers, Irvingism, and Evolution have been specially written for the present edition.
