Excerpt from Religions and Religion: A Study of the Science of Religion, Pure and Applied
There seems to be a fitness in the surroundings amid which I begin to gather together the thoughts of many years upon a great theme. I am in the first enjoyment of my holiday, and the conditions themselves take me back vividly to my missionary brethren, as I saw some of them a year ago in the scorching tropical sun of Barbados and British Guiana, Trinidad, Panama, and Jamaica. I think of them working on so quietly and uncomplainingly, waiting long years to refresh their wearied bodies with a breath of cool English air. I picture others among Hindus or Confucians, Moslems or fetish worshippers, toiling to acquire fluency in strange tongues, that they may tell to men whom only the Christian in them will recognize as their own kith and kin the message in which they have themselves.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relationship between comparative religion and Christianity's origins. Amidst the dawn of a 'Wonderful Century' of modern inquiry, the author traces how the rapid evolution of scientific knowledge, particularly Darwinism, deeply influenced Christian belief. These shifts created the need for a new missionary motive, and thus Comparative Religion emerged, leading to a re-evaluation of non-Christian religions and their significance. The author explores the extent to which this new discipline has affected the interpretation of Christian documents and origins. They question some extreme theories, such as the astral myth and solar myth hypotheses, which attempt to explain religious figures as personifications of celestial bodies. Despite these excesses, the author highlights how comparative religion has enhanced our understanding of the development of religious thought and the human experience of the divine. The book concludes that the insights gained from this field of study have not diminished the primacy of Christianity but have instead deepened our appreciation of the universality of religious expression and the diversity of ways in which humanity has sought to connect with the divine.
