A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

This volume is an expansion of a text-book, entitled Religions of the World in Relation to Christianity, in which a sketch was attempted, for th?, use of Guilds and Bible Classes, of the great extant non-Cbristian religions. No attempt was made to deal with Talmudism, Jainism, Shintoism, and Parbiism, because these religions, though still extant and notable for various reasons, are accepted only by small sections of the race. Besides, they have evidently finished their work and have entered upon a lonc( euthanasia. Thos 5 which, as a matter of fact, do divide the ground of civilised mankind with Christianity are Mohammedanism, Hinduism or Brahmanism, Buddhism, and the native religions of China. There is a general agreement as to the number of adherents which may be claimed by each of those great religions. Buddhism excepted, which is credited by some authorities with five hundred and by others with less than one hundred millions. The larger of these extreme estimates is obtained by including all Chinamen, an illegitimate assumption, for it is doubtful if there are more than fifty millions of Buddhists in China. Almost every Chinaman, though accustomed to frequent Buddhist or Taouist temples, calls himself a Confucianist.

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.
