Publisher's Synopsis
""Religions of Antiquity as Preparatory to Christianity"" by Charles Newton Scott is a comprehensive exploration of the various religions that existed before the advent of Christianity. The author examines the beliefs and practices of ancient religions such as Egyptian, Babylonian, Greek, and Roman, and analyzes their similarities and differences with Christianity. The book argues that these religions laid the foundation for the development of Christianity, and that Christianity borrowed heavily from the beliefs and practices of these ancient religions. The author also discusses the impact of these religions on the culture and society of the time, and how they influenced the development of philosophy, art, and literature. This book is an important resource for scholars and students of religion, history, and philosophy, as well as anyone interested in the origins of Christianity and the evolution of religious thought.1914.
