Comparative religion

About this book

The story of the religious quest of mankind, its fruits, its failures, and its future prospects, is of supreme interest and great fascination, and much that is already known to specialists is not yet familiar to the general public. It is impossible to give full details in one short volume: but Dr Bouquet, who has specialized in the subject for over twenty years, here introduces readers to it, giving due attention to all parts of the world, and especially to India and the Far East. He writes with scientific impartiality, and with full recognition of recent developments in the acquisition of knowledge: and he believes that there is only one right way of persuading, and that is to present what is true in such a way that nothing will prevent it from being seen except the desire to remain in darkness.
