A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In attempting a study of the religions of the world, one is confronted with the problem of the order in which they should be taken up. The order in which they are presented in the following pages is that which the writer has foimd most advantageous in his own classroom: (i) an outU ne of primitive religions; (2) the religions of Babylonia andE gypt, which approach most closely to the primitive type; (3) the other religions which have sprung from the Hamito-S emitic stock, the religion of the Hebrews, Judaism, and Mohammedanism; {4) passing eastward toP ersia, the study of Zoroastrianism; (5) the religions of I ndia, China, and Japan; (6) the religions of Greece andR ome; and (7) the study of Christianity. 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 tL obook 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 rehgions of Israel and Christianity are studied in other parts of the curriculum, chapters iv, v, and xv may be omitted from the course.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
