Excerpt from Doomed Religions
This is, in effect, a book on the great religions of the world. True, it was not conceived with so broad a purpose, yet the very attempt to uncover the forces against which we have arrayed ourselves in many lands, by establishing Christian missions, reveals, in a general way, the errors and superstitions of the whole human race. It is truly wonderful how alike are the forms into which the beliefs and worship of men stray when they are left unhelped and unguided by the holy oracles. But we mean more than this, for there is really not one of the giant systems of religious error in the world to which these essays do not give attention.
The particular method we have adopted in the production of this book has the advantage of giving us the testimony, the experience, the hopes, and the fears of those who have been eye and ear witnesses of that of which they write. The author of each essay is a devout believer in the Bible, and consequently no theories are broached that in the slightest degree contravene the teachings of the inspired volume.
