The progress of religious ideas, through successive ages in three volumes
Entry/Object ID
1987.53.9
Secondary Title
Volume 3
Description
The product of diligent research on the major religions of the ancient world, its three volumes seek not simply to recount the spiritual progress of humanity but also to promote religious tolerance.
As Child explains in the preface, “I wished to show that theology is not religion; with the hope that I might break down partition walls.” Secular themes, such as slavery and the status of women, also pervade the book. Despite her effort to see each religion in its own light, Child left little doubt in her reader’s mind about the superiority of Christ’s teachings and their influence on human progress.
