The missionary, for instance, may consider\u003cbr\u003ethat a knowledge of the similarities of these religions would increase\u003cbr\u003ethe efficacy of his proselytising work: his purpose would thus be\u003cbr\u003ewholly practical. The ecclesiastically minded Christian, already\u003cbr\u003econvinced of the superiority of his own religion, will be chiefly\u003cbr\u003eanxious to secure scientific proof of the fact: the study of\u003cbr\u003ecomparative religion from this point of view was once a popular branch\u003cbr\u003eof apologetics and is by no means out of favour at the present day.\u003cbr\u003eAgain, the inquirer whose historical perspective is undisturbed by\u003cbr\u003eecclesiastical considerations, will approach the subject with somewhat\u003cbr\u003edifferent interests. He will expect the comparison to provide him with\u003cbr\u003ea clear view of the influence which Christianity has exerted upon\u003cbr\u003eother religions or has itself received from them: or he may hope by\u003cbr\u003ecomparing the general development of special religious systems to gain\u003cbr\u003ea clearer insight into the growth of Christianity. Hence the object of\u003cbr\u003esuch comparisons is to trace the course of analogous developments and\u003cbr\u003ethe interaction of influence and so to increase the knowledge of\u003cbr\u003ereligion in general or of our own religion in particular.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084576538864,"sku":"2940015813609","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015813609","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
