""The Religion of Lower Races As Illustrated by the African Bantu"" is a book written by Edwin W. Smith that explores the religious beliefs and practices of the Bantu people in Africa. The author analyzes the various aspects of Bantu religion, including their creation myth, belief in spirits, and rituals for appeasing the gods.

The book provides a detailed and insightful look into the religious practices of a lesser-known culture, shedding light on the diversity of human spirituality.1923. This work is one of a series on �������The World's Living Religions,������� and is intended to furnish accurate and trustworthy, though brief and popular, presentations of the actual religious life of each great region of the non-Christian world. Its purpose is to give the students of religion in the West and particularly missionary candidates who are planning to go to Africa, or other portions of the world where primitive peoples are living, a vivid conception of the religious conditions which exist in such an area and some understanding of the hold of the prevailing religion upon those who follow it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
