The Chief End of ManGood Press, 24. dec. 2019 - 258 sider "The Chief End of Man" by George Spring Merriam argues that religion must develop away from superstition and supernaturalism and embrace tolerance and rationalism. It shows how Christianity developed from its Jewish and Classical roots into the anti-rational dogma of the Middle Ages, and how the promise of the Reformation was never really delivered. Though this book was written many years ago, people will be surprised to learn how relevant it is to today's world. |
