Articles liés à Secrets of Religion (Studies of the Past)
Présentation de l'éditeur
This little book, first issued in the columns of the Tioo Worlds, is an attempt to place in a condensed fi)rm, before those of the general public whose scanty leisure precludes the possibility of wide reading, a collection of little-known facts concerning the foundations of religious systems, more especially the Christian school of thought. The past century has seen the production of numerous valuable works by industrious students in various fields, but few people have the opportunity of perusing them. Those who desire to push their enquiries further are specially recommended to read Higgins A nacalijpsis, Dupuis Origine de Tous les Cultes, the Rev. Robert Taylor sD iegesis, andO xley sE gypt a7id theW onders of theL and of the Pharoahs, amongst the many books herein referred to. For the most part the Reader is left to draw his own conclusions; but the main object of this work will not have been attained unless he can clearly see (1) that it is a libel upon so-called idolaters to consider them as mere worshippers of wood and stone, and (2) that the sacred books of all religionists are to be regarded not as literally true histories, but rather as symbolic or parabolic delineations of philosophical teachings whose full import has, in the past, been communicated only to the initiated.
