Excerpt from Religions of Mission Fields as Viewed by Protestant Missionaries
This text-book has been prepared to supplement two others upon non-Christian religions previously used in the classes of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions. One of these, written by Principal Grant, is descriptive in character; the other, by the late Dr. Kellogg of India, is comparative in its treatment of the ethnic faiths. As will be seen, most of the writers in the present volume have kept constantly in view the needs of that large body of students who are either planning to enter foreign missionary service, or who wish to look through the eyes of experienced workers upon the religions of the various mission fields. Practical points have more value for such persons than theoretical views, and the writers from their long and familiar acquaintance with believers in the religions which they discuss have aimed to minister to their desires.
Every text-book of the series, of which this is the thirty-first, labors under the limitations of space, being intended for voluntary study by very busy students; and the present book must be regarded only as introductory to a much wider study of other volumes treating of these religions individually. Study classes are advised to make liberal use of such additional literature, both in order to supplement a necessarily fragmentary treatment of the various religions, and also that the class sessions may furnish fresh facts in amplification of those which the text-book supplies.
