Book Description
The title of this book explains at once its purpose and its scope. It embodies an attempt to give the reader a condensed yet comprehensive view of the origin, progress, and aim of the science of Comparative Religion. It presents a sketch of the advent of a new line of research, the difficulties which it has had to encounter, the problems which it has set itself to solve, and the results which thus far it has been able to register. Viewed as a department of study, Comparative Religion aspires to obtain, and doubtless will ultimately secure, the status of a separate theological discipline. In the meantime it is generally regarded as being, at most, a useful adjunct to the study of Apologetics; and the many questions which it raises are usually investigated, more or less fully, in connection with that subject. This arrangement, though only temporary, has admittedly borne good fruit; for, as a result of this alliance, the scope of modern Apologetics has been immensely and permanently widened. [From the Author's Introduction] Louis H. Jordan's accessible handbook to the study of Comparative Religion, originally published in 1905, served, in its day, to summarize the history and development of an emergent discipline. Today, Jordan’s work continues to serve both as a classic statement of the discipline's aims and purposes and as a review of its foundational texts and early proponents. This is an indispensable resource for those engaged in the comparative study of religion.
