Faiths of the World

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The religions of which in this and the following lecture we are to treat, belong to one of the two kinds or groups of religions under which, as above indicated in a very rough and general classification, the reli gions of the pre-christian world may be embraced. Brahmanism and Buddhism, in other words, are pan theistic religions. What that designation means we Shall understand better by tracing the origin and historical development of these religions than by any formal or philosophical definition of the term.
