Excerpt from The Faiths of the World: A Concise History of the Great Religious Systems of the World

Brahmanism and Buddhism, in other words, are pan theistic religions. What that designation means we Shall understand better by tracing the origin and historical development of these religions than by any formal or philosophical definition of the term.
