Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where and when did man make his first appearance on this earth? The object of this book is to bring before the public such further facts and values regarding the evolution of man.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1906, these four lectures were originally delivered in the Vacation Term for Biblical Study at Cambridge. Evidence is derived from the native tribes of Australia in particular, whom Jevons compares for his discussion. The first lecture considers whether religion has evolved from, or was preceded by a pre-religion, or non-religious, stage of humankind. The following lectures discuss the science of religion and the theory of Evolution, and the relationship between the evolution of religion and the philosophy of religion. This is a fascinating text that will be of particular value to students interested in the history and development of religion in general.

Download or read book Revival: The Sixteenth Century (1936) written by Charles William Chadwick Oman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-20 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often some one precious detail of war lurks in the middle of a book of the most unlikely description. After turning over tens of thousands of leaves in Latin, French, Italian, German, English, Spanish and Dutch print, one is left with an accumulation of observed phenomena - religious, cultural, literary, psychological - which the mind is forced to coordinate into some sort of general conclusions. As the author has stated in some of the pages which follow this preface, the author is profoundly averse to formulating 'philosophies of history', and though the author feels impelled to put in order the impression which much reading and pondering have left with me, the author does not pretend to link these impressions into any theory of evolution. There are as many 'ifs' in history as 'therefores'.
