Publisher's Synopsis
National Religions and Universal Religions is a book written by A. Kuenen that explores the concept of religion and its impact on society. The book examines the differences between national religions, which are specific to a particular culture or society, and universal religions, which are meant to be applicable to all people regardless of their background. Kuenen discusses the origins of these two types of religions and how they have evolved over time. He also examines the role of religion in shaping social and political structures, and how it has been used to justify actions such as war and conquest.
