Excerpt from Religions Before Christianity
In the extremely limited space offered by this manual, it has been thought best to attempt to give general principles rather than details of fact. Those religions have been chosen for presentation which adapt themselves most readily to this treatment, or the names of which are most familiar. The Hebrew religion is not included, as it has already been presented in this series of manuals. Mohammedanism is excluded by the plan and title of the work. Teachers can add much to the interest of the study by presenting such details in regard to each religion as they may judge expedient.
It will be observed that there are two kinds of questions. Those that are printed in the longer lines and in the larger type have always answers in the paragraphs to which they refer. The others are more general in their nature. To these, no answer is given, though one is sometimes suggested. The object of these is to lead the pupil to regard the religion as a real thing, and thus to prevent the study from being a mere affair of memory. Of course, they are not to be used mechanically.
