Synopsis
Excerpt from Christianity Suited to All Forms of Civilization: A Lecture, Delivered in Connection With the Christian Evidence Society, July 9th, 1872
I. Let us first consider the case Of wild tribes, who are, as nearly as we can judge, in what is called a state Of nature. We have whole families, and even races, in Europe in a condition very little removed from that Of the wild beasts but they are generally a degraded and neglected form Of mankind who have lapsed from a better state Of civilization, and are hardly such good subjects for illustrating our argu ment as the wild tribes Of India, who, so far as historical records show, have been from very early ages in a state at least as barbarous as that in which we have found them of late years. What I am now about to tell you applies to nearly one fifth Of the people Of India. Some Of them are not much removed above the condition Of the abo riginal tribes in Australia. In the Andaman Islands there are remnants Of a Negrillo race, who, though far better formed and well developed physically and mentally than the Australian race, have quite as little Of artificial. Civilization about them. In the jungles Of Central and Southern India are to be found tribes whose habits seem to approach much more nearly to those Of apes than Of _men.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines whether Christianity, commonly understood as the faith practiced by the majority in 19th century England, can be suitably adapted to the requirements of varying forms of civilization. The author presents firsthand observations of Christianity's effects on practitioners and non-practitioners alike in various countries and social classes. The book argues that Christianity is not a Semitic variation of religion but rather a universalizing force, adaptable to any time and place in human history. The author juxtaposes Christianity's emphasis on a revealed morality with other religions which venerate malicious beings or morality derived solely from human wisdom. Within this framework, the book argues Christianity's civilizing influence is profound and universal, having positive effects on the morals and social organization of societies, providing an alternative to the prevailing Fetishism of the time and elevating individuals in the moral and social scale. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
