Synopsis
Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Comparative Religion
The Hartford-Lamson Lectures on "The Religions of the World" are delivered at Hartford Theological Seminary in connection with the Lamson Fund, which was established by a group of friends in honor of the late Charles M. Lamson, D.D., sometime President of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, to assist in preparing students for the foreign missionary field. The Lectures are designed primarily to give to such students a good knowledge of the religious history, beliefs, and customs of the peoples among whom they expect to labor. As they are delivered by scholars of the first rank, who are authorities in their respective fields, it is expected that in published form they will prove to be of value to students generally.

An Introduction to the Study of Comparative Religion (Classic Reprint)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of religion from its earliest forms, when it was deeply entwined with daily life and the search for the divine. The author argues that all religions, regardless of their complexity, share a common goal: to bridge the gap between the finite and infinite. Through a comparative analysis of different faiths, the author reveals that morality and religion have a reciprocal relationship. Religion provides a framework for moral behavior, while morality shapes the beliefs and practices of religious communities. The author concludes that while the scientific study of religion can shed light on the historical development of religious practices, it cannot definitively prove or disprove the truth of religious experience. The book provides valuable insights into the nature of religion and its place in human history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781451003475_0
