Publisher's Synopsis
The Passing and the Permanent in Religion is a book written by Minot Judson Savage that explores the nature of religion and its various aspects. The book delves into the idea that while some aspects of religion may change over time, there are certain enduring elements that remain permanent. Savage argues that these permanent elements are essential to the survival and growth of religion, and that they provide a foundation for the development of new religious ideas and practices.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of religion. Savage discusses the role of ritual and ceremony in religion, the importance of community and fellowship, and the significance of belief and faith. He also examines the relationship between religion and morality, and the ways in which religious beliefs and practices can shape and influence ethical behavior.Throughout the book, Savage draws on examples from various religious traditions, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism. He also incorporates insights from philosophy, psychology, and sociology to provide a comprehensive and nuanced analysis of the nature of religion.Overall, The Passing and the Permanent in Religion is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the enduring elements of religion, and the ways in which they contribute to the vitality and relevance of religious traditions. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of religion and its role in contemporary society.1901.
