For good or ill, most, if not all, of the great institutions which
have formed the framework of society have had their roots in the
idea of Deity as a beneficent providential order of transcendental
reality. In being handed down through countless generations the
beliefs, concepts and customs have assumed a great variety of new
outward forms in the process of transmission and development. To
determine their true meaning and function as a cohesive force and
as an expression of ultimate reality, the comparative and
historical methods can be employed with considerable advantage.
This book, first published in 1950, provides a valuable comparative
study of religion.
