Early Spread of Religious Ideas

Joseph Edkins

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The contents of this little book were delivered as lectures at the Indian Institute, Oxford 1; at New College, Hampstead at Cheshunt College; and in the Memorial Hall, Farringdon Street, at a meeting of the London Congregational Union. The lectures have now been changed into chapters, and various additions and corrections have been made. The main idea through all has been to sketch briefly the chief points in primaeval religious teaching. Having lived among the adherents of Eastern religions for forty five years, I have become strongly convinced that what good teaching their books contain is derived from early revelation. If research be carefully conducted, it will be possible to recover the primaeval history of mankind in religion, as in other branches of human progress. The result will be, as our aim ought to be, To vindicate Eternal Providence And justify the ways of God to man.
