Description

This book was written in 1929. Ames, who was the Professor of Philosophy in the University of Chicago, writes in his preface that this book endeavours to present certain aspects of religion as they appear in the light of its history and of social psychology. Religion is here viewed as a natural, social, cultural process. The doctrines, which have often been regarded as the essence of religion, are seen to have ultimate relation to the religious activities, being at once deposits or products and also instruments of such activities. Religion arises as a phase or quality of the complex life of the human spirit in its idealistic outreach, and is continually subject to restatement under the influence of the flowing stream of that life. The contents include: The Springs of Religion; Religion as a Social Process; The Values of Religion; Religion and Philosophy; Religion and Morality; Religion and Art; The Gods of Religion; God and the Self; God as Idealized Reality; God and Personality; How God is Used; Mysticism's Quest for God; Prayer; Death and the Future; Creative Religious Behaviour; Good and Evil; Churches; Religious Education; and Religious Knowledge and Practice.
