Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""What Is Religion? A Protest Against The Spirit Of The Age, A Plea For The Reality Of The Spiritual"" is a philosophical work written by Robert Withers Memminger and published in 1871. The book is a critical analysis of the prevailing ideas about religion in the author's time and a call for a deeper understanding of spirituality. Memminger argues that the dominant view of religion as a set of beliefs and practices is inadequate, and that true religion is a personal experience of the divine. He contends that the materialistic and scientific worldview of the age has led to a neglect of the spiritual dimension of human existence, and that this has resulted in a sense of emptiness and alienation in modern society. Through a series of essays, Memminger explores the nature of religion, the relationship between faith and reason, the role of tradition in religious practice, and the importance of personal experience in spiritual growth. He draws on a variety of sources, including the Bible, philosophy, and literature, to support his arguments. Overall, ""What Is Religion?"" is a thought-provoking and challenging work that encourages readers to reconsider their assumptions about religion and spirituality. It remains relevant today as a critique of the secularism and materialism that continue to dominate modern culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
