The Book of Religions

The work is intended to serve as a manual for those who are desirous of acquiring, with as little trouble as possible, a correct knowledge of the tenets or systems of religious faith, presented for the consideration of mankind;--to enable them, almost at a glance, to compare one creed or system with another, and each with the holy Scriptures;--to settle the minds of those who have formed no definite opinions on religious subjects;--and to lead us all, by contrasting the sacred truths and sublime beauties of Christianity with the absurd notions of pagan idolaters, of skeptics, and of infidels, to set a just value on the doctrines of HIM WHO SPAKE AS NEVER MAN SPAKE.
