Publisher's Synopsis
Perhaps all religions, except the flaming onset of Mohammedanism be an exception, have dawned imperceptibly upon the world. A little even as ago and the issue become no longer; and then all at once it has been located in existence, and already in a kingdom of diffusion. People have all started to listen of the new perception first right here and then there. It is interesting, for example, to hint how Christianity drifted into the attention of the Roman world. But when a faith has been interrogated it has constantly had hitherto a tale of beginnings, the name and story of a founder. The renascent religion that is now taking shape, it seems, had no founder; it factors to no origins. It is the Truth, its believers declare; it has always been right here; it has continually been seen to folks who had eyes to see. It is possibly plainer than it turned into and to greater people-that is all. It is as if it nonetheless did not understand its personal difference. Many of folks who hold it nevertheless think of it as though it were a form of Christianity. Some, catching at a word of Huxley's, communicate of it as Christianity without Theology. They do now not recognize the creed they're carrying. It has, as a remember of fact, a very pleasant and subtle theology, flatly against any belief that could, except by great stretching of charity and the imagination, be called Christianity.This version of the book is annotated.
