Religion and Historic Faiths Otto Pfleiderer

Preface sion was guided by the wish to draw the clearest possible picture of the characteristic features of the religions, showing their points of difference and of contact. The three introductory lectures will make clear the view-points which served as my standards. Perhaps it would be advisable to recommend to those readers who are less interested in the philosophical reflections contained in the opening lectures, that they begin at the fourth lecture, and after having read the historical matter, turn back to the portion devoted to the philosophy of religion. For deeper study, I refer the reader to my larger work Religionsphilosophie auf geschichtlicher Grundlage, (3 A ufl. 1896), and to the text-books on the general history of religion by Tiele, Chantepie deS aussaye, Orelli and Menzies; in them, lists of books treating of the separate religions are given.
