The Book of Religions

The work is intended to serve as a manual for those who are desirous of acquiring with as little trouble as possible a correct knowledge of the tenets or systems of religious faith presented for the consideration of mankind;—to enable them almost at a glance to compare one creed or system with another and each with the holy Scriptures;—to settle the minds of those who have formed no definite opinions on religious subjects;—and to lead us all by contrasting the sacred truths and sublime beauties of Christianity with the absurd notions of pagan idolaters of skeptics and of infidels to set a just value on the doctrines of HIM WHO SPAKE AS NEVER MAN SPAKE.
