Synopsis
Excerpt from The Idea of God in Early Religions
In The Varieties of Religious Experience the late Professor William James has said (p.465): 'The religious phenomenon, studied as an inner fact, and apart from ecclesiastical or theological complications, has shown itself to consist everywhere, and at all its stages, in the consciousness which individuals have of an intercourse between themselves and higher powers with which they feel themselves to be related. This intercourse is realised at the time as being both active and mutual.' The book now before the reader deals with the religious phenomenon, studied as an inner fact, in the earlier stages of religion. By the Idea of God may be meant either the consciousness which individuals have of higher powers, with which they feel themselves to be related, or the words in which they, or others, seek to express that consciousness.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the idea of God across various religious traditions, delving into the history of polytheism and the accompanying mythology. The author argues that polytheism arose from a search for a higher power, and that myths emerged as reflections on the nature and actions of these divine beings. Analyzing the content of these myths, the book traces the evolution of religious thought, examining the gradual shift towards monotheism and the accompanying moral development. By examining the commonalities and differences in the myths of different cultures, the book unveils the underlying human quest for connection with the divine. This insightful analysis provides a deeper understanding of the role of mythology in shaping our conceptions of God and the significance of these beliefs in the evolution of religious thought.
