What is Religion? (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

First Published in 1953 What is Religion provides an understanding of religious faith which embraces all of the great and enduring religions. In the process it strips off the irrelevant and inconsequential which every religion accumulates in the course of time, and gets in back of rigid formulations of faith to the primary experiences of the single religious man. Through its detailed consideration of world faiths runs an appealing and consistent philosophy of religion for everyman. Alban Widgery's aim throughout is constructive, with the purpose of showing religion as supreme in life and of defending its beliefs against forms of antireligious thought. He maintains that the view he presents is more true of religion as it has been in history and also to the general conditions of mankind. This book is a must read for scholars and researchers of philosophy of religion and religion in general.
