The World's Religion As Contrasted With Genuine Christianity (1851)

The World's Religion: As Contrasted With Genuine Christianity is a book written by Janet Sinclair Colquhoun and published in 1851. The book provides a comprehensive overview of various religions from around the world, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Judaism, and compares them with the principles of Christianity. Colquhoun's goal in writing the book was to demonstrate the superiority of Christianity over other religions and to highlight the differences between them. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different religion. Colquhoun discusses the history, beliefs, and practices of each religion, and then contrasts them with the teachings of Christianity. She argues that Christianity is the only true religion and that all other religions are false and misguided. The book also addresses the role of religion in society, and Colquhoun argues that Christianity is essential for the moral and spiritual well-being of individuals and communities. She believes that without Christianity, society would be plagued by immorality, chaos, and despair. Overall, The World's Religion: As Contrasted With Genuine Christianity is a passionate defense of Christianity and a critique of other religions. While some readers may find Colquhoun's arguments narrow-minded or intolerant, the book provides a valuable historical perspective on the role of religion in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
