This book examines whether Christianity, commonly understood as the faith practiced by the majority in 19th century England, can be suitably adapted to the requirements of varying forms of civilization. The author presents firsthand observations of Christianity's effects on practitioners and non-practitioners alike in various countries and social classes. The book argues that Christianity is not a Semitic variation of religion but rather a universalizing force, adaptable to any time and place in human history. The author juxtaposes Christianity's emphasis on a revealed morality with other religions which venerate malicious beings or morality derived solely from human wisdom. Within this framework, the book argues Christianity's civilizing influence is profound and universal, having positive effects on the morals and social organization of societies, providing an alternative to the prevailing Fetishism of the time and elevating individuals in the moral and social scale.
