Description

Excerpt from The Evolution of Religion In these days, when the so-called supernatural is everywhere becoming natural, when law and progress are more and more being recognized as universal, it is not surprising that there should be a growing tendency to discredit the supernatural in religion and to make religion a natural product of human evolution. The superhuman origin and authority of the Bible, the foundation upon which rests the claim that Christianity is a supernatural or revealed religion, is being discredited. The reality and desirability of such authority is being disputed. Even the superhuman origin and nature of Jesus, the cornerstone of orthodox Christianity, is being denied. While much has been written along these lines, little of it has been so concise, readable, and reverent as to appeal to the average man. Recognizing this dearth of available popular literature on these important subjects, the author has endeavored to show in a brief and interesting manner the evidence, or rather the lack of evidence, as to the superhuman origin and character of our Bible, our religion, and of the great teacher, Jesus. As a corollary, some evidence as to their natural origin and character has been adduced. While it was his purpose to discredit the supernatural origin of religions in general and of Christianity in particular, the author feels that in doing so he has done no injury to the cause of true religion, but has rendered it service.
