No one can feel more strongly than myself the triviality of this book as a contribution to the investigation of a large subject. It is only published in the hope that it may inspire some one to enter upon that subject with the thoroughness that it deserves. I have merely put together some conclusions which, in the course of my reading, came before my mind. They are fragmentary and incomplete; but I found that any serious attempt at expansion would entirely alter the form of the book. All that I have done, in preparing them for the press, is to divide the second lecture into two parts for greater clearness, and to expand the first portion of it.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a thoughtful inquiry into the nature of religious persecution and its relation to Christianity. The author argues that Christianity was not propagated by force or the threat of force, and that the Church, in adopting persecution as a means of enforcing religious conformity, betrayed the teachings of its founder. The author traces the roots of persecution to the natural human desire to have one's own way, and argues that it is this desire, rather than any genuine religious belief, that has motivated persecution throughout history. The book also discusses the role of the State in religious affairs, and argues that the separation of Church and State is essential for the protection of religious freedom. The book concludes with a call for a return to the teachings of Christ, and a plea for tolerance and understanding in religious matters. By examining the history of persecution and the teachings of Christianity, this book provides important insights into the nature of religious belief and the relationship between religion and society.
