Publisher's Synopsis
The Service of Man: An Essay Towards the Religion of the Future is a book written by James Cotter Morison in 1887. The book is an exploration of Morison's vision for a new religion that would be based on service to humanity rather than traditional religious beliefs. Morison argues that traditional religions have become outdated and fail to provide a satisfactory answer to the problems of modern society. He proposes that a new religion should be based on the idea of service to others, and that this should be the central focus of worship and practice. The book is divided into four parts. In the first part, Morison discusses the limitations of traditional religions and the need for a new approach. In the second part, he outlines his vision for the new religion, which he calls ""the service of man."" He argues that this new religion should be based on the principles of love, justice, and equality. In the third part, Morison explores the practical implications of his ideas, including the role of education, the importance of social reform, and the need for a new moral code. In the final part, he discusses the challenges that the new religion will face and the ways in which it can overcome them. Overall, The Service of Man is a thought-provoking work that challenges traditional religious beliefs and proposes a new approach to spirituality. It remains a relevant and influential text in the history of religious thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
