| | 1 | Author: | McAfee, Cleland Boyd | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | The Greatest English Classic  | | | | Published: | 1998 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | THERE are three great Book-religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Mohammedanism.
Other religions have their sacred writings,
but they do not hold them in the same regard as
do these three. Buddhism and Confucianism
count their books rather records of their faith
than rules for it, history rather than authoritative
sources of belief. The three great Book-religions yield a measure of authority to their
sacred books which would be utterly foreign to
the thought of other faiths. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
