Ten Great Religions: An Essay in Comparative Theology. E-book. Formato PDF James Freeman Clarke - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
HE first six chapters of the present volume are com posed from six articles prepared for the Atlantic Monthly, and published in that magazine in 1868. They attracted quite as much attention as the writer antici pated, and this has induced him to enlarge them, and add other chapters. His aim is to enable the reader to become acquainted with the doctrines and customs of the principal religions of the world, without having to con sult numerous volumes. He has not come to the task without some preparation, for it is more than twenty five years since he first made of this study a speciality. In this volume it is attempted to give the latest results of modern investigations, so far as any definite and trust worthy facts have been attained.

The first part of Ten Great Religions was published in 1871. The success it has met with is probably due to the fact that it contains in a compendium an account of the principal religions of the world, sufficiently full for the wants of those who are not Special students of this subject. There exist many works on the separate religions, much more thorough, and which enter into a greater detail. But I suppose it would be dith cult, even now, to find the chief facts in relation to all of them brought together elsewhere in a single volume.
