Excerpt from The First Text Book in Comparative ReligionFirst of all, in the Old Testament, we have the beginning of human worship, the origin of religion. We have the worship of Jehovah standing out for ages supreme and alone. Then we have the advent of other religions, departures from the original worship, not approaches to it, but departures, separations, substitutions, and usurpations. We have the worship of the Host of Heaven, Bel worship or Baal worship, Moloch worship, Dagon worship, with the, beginnings of nature worship, of hero worship, of ancestor worship, and of other kinds in addition. In connection with the abundant Old Testament disclosures on Comparative Religion we have in Romans I, in the New Testament, a divine sum mary of the whole world's experience and of God's irreversible judgment in the entire case.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
