Synopsis

""Anger: Its Religious and Moral Significance"" is a book written by George Malcolm Stratton that explores the concept of anger and its significance in religion and morality. The book delves into the various religious traditions and moral philosophies that have attempted to understand and address anger, including Christianity, Buddhism, and Stoicism. Stratton examines the causes and effects of anger, as well as the ways in which it can be expressed and controlled. The book also discusses the role of forgiveness and compassion in managing anger, and how these virtues can help individuals overcome their own anger and respond to the anger of others in a more constructive manner. Overall, ""Anger: Its Religious and Moral Significance"" offers a thoughtful and insightful exploration of a complex and often misunderstood emotion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

For some years the writer has been studying pugnacity in men and in animals, for its immediate importance in psychology and because here lie the roots of war, and help in regard to its control. The psychology of religion has also been long of interest to him. While busied thus, an invitation was accepted to deliver the Taylor Lectures at the Divinity School of Yale University, and to present some considerations of anger where it comes close to conduct and religion. The writer is more indebted than he can well express, to those who so generously gave him this opportunity, and especially to Dean C. R. Brown and many others for their personal encouragement and criticism when the lectures were delivered. The present account, however, goes far beyond what was possible in even the generous time there offered, making the whole perhaps more worthy of its important theme. It is hoped that the explanation of conscience, and of the origins of religion, and particularly of monotheism has been carried a firm step farther than hitherto, and that interest will be found in the novel grouping of the great faiths with respect to wrath. What is here said of war should be counted as but preliminary and as part of a larger plan for its psychology. A method employed in the writers Psychology of the Religious Life has here again been used, whereby the spirit of the great religions is drawn from their sacred writings.
