Book Description
Excerpt from The Distinctive Messages of the Old Religions There are two questions which are often confounded - What is the nature of religion? And, What is the origin of religion? We frequently hear it said that religion has its origin in certain feelings of the mind. We are told sometimes that it is the product of fear, sometimes that it is the fruit of superstition, sometimes that it originates in a sense of absolute dependence. However true such statements may be, they can in no case reach the root of the matter. They may tell us what religion is; they cannot tell us whence religion comes. If we Should succeed in reducing the religious faculty to an experience of fear, or a feeling of primitive superstition, or a sense of absolute dependence, we Shall not have.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Sympathy of Religions If the reader of this book is not to be disap pointed but is to derive pleasure and profit from its pages, it is necessary that he should un derstand its unique purpose and not approach it expecting to find in it what the writer has not intended to present. There are books of reli gion and books about religion, and there are still greater books both of and about religion, writ ten by men who do not believe that to under stand feeling one must be devoid of it but who dare to philosophize with the whole man in the conviction that it is possible to live and at the same time to understand life. An introduction to religion, or a comparative study of some of the great historic religions, ought to be an inter pretation, an expression of the highest experi ences suffused with intelligence, of the religious life understood.

Ancient Religion and Modern Thought (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from Ancient Religion and Modern Thought Thought: a vague term, indeed, although, I suppose, we all know well enough what is meant by it. An essentially negative movement it is - its ultimate message to mankind the philosophy of Schopenhauer and his school: and to an examination of that philo sophy my First Chapter is devoted. But the view of life put before us by the Pessimists is, after all, to a large extent true, nor is it easy to see what answer can be given to their argument save that supplied by religious faith. Is religious faith, then, any longer possible? Or has Modern Thought been so fatal to it as is commonly asserted?

Book Description
Excerpt from A Cosmic View of Religion These pages undertake to deal with religion in its generic aspects, and from the side of the uni verse. The religious instinct is such a persistent radical, and so evidently here to stay, that the whole issue of the soul's fellowship with the Di vine may be investigated from the viewpoint of the unity of creation. If man has come up out of things, he will not, in the long run, be largely influenced by any theory of detachment. The better understandings, therefore, of what this human is, in his inmost being, are to be reached by a careful estimate of his permanent outward correspondences, and of his actions under them, and of the degree of mastery which they have over him. We have come to the time when the serious minded refuse to go to school to the teacher who has to have himself whipped into acceptance of the nature truths which research has uncovered. SO great and unquestioned have been the recent advances in psychology, in chemistry, in physics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
