Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-12 00:00:00 Wade Bare Although clearly written by a Christian who believes Christianity is the most perfect of religions (as if there were such perfection to be had), this is still a well-written piece; Even though the author clearly misunderstands portions of other religions (like magick *which this reader believes can be a religious practise*, animism, and Buddhist philosophies) , he states them (his conclusions) with reason and logic and has clearly read up on views which do not agree with his own. Other religions and practices are referred to as inferior, their adherents as savage, and their acts as antisocial or just plain non-religious .... However, his bias and misunderstandings (in and of itself) are stated in such a tactful way that they still remain insightful and reasonable enough to contribute to any persons' study of comparative religion. Still a recommended read! "The truth and the good inherent in all forms of religion is that, in all, man seeks after God. The finality of Christianity lies in the fact that it reveals the God for whom man seeks." The above quote (from the final section) demonstrates how he may, indeed, see value in most religion.....but that (to him) Christianity contains the "true God" and the most preferable way to achieve communion with said God.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-12-17 00:00:00 Lynn Collis Good review of the relationships between the development of science and religious thought. It tended to be a bit dated towards the end with the recent developments of physics and limited knowledge of Einstein's thought. Overall it was a good read and worth the effort
