Excerpt from The History of Religions In the language of one of the save races mentioned in this volume the word religion means the sacred tree. Although innocent of allegory, yet, as in many other regards, in this definition the savage has suggested a profound truth. For religion is, as it were, a tree. Its roots lie deep in the darkness of primeval earth; its growth must precede its sheltering foliage; and its unripened fruits are not pleasant. Yet, watered by a living spring, it has risen out of a soil black and even gruesome, since blood too has fertilized it, but risen nevertheless it has, slowly exalting itself heavenward; and under it sits nearly all mankind. In the course of this volume we shall study the roots and the higher growth of this tree, which through its age-long development, as any tree changes its earth-drawn sustenance into something more ethereal, has transmuted terror into reverent awe, hunger into hope, lust into love. We shall trace the slow progress of such roots of religion as bear today the names taboo, fetishism, totemism; see how taboo invested with spiritual power the moral command, insured the home, and made for civilization; howl fetishism confirmed the thought that man depends on a I spiritual something, gave faith in a power that helped, and I made that power the judge of right and wrong; how I totemism linked man in communion with the divine and I in conjunction with seasonal nature-worship founded ritual I in the recurrent form necessary to religious stability. We I shall see in short that the higher not only is above the i lower but that it has ascended out of the lower. Savagery did not give place to civilization but developed into it, was i already civilization in the germ.

The History Of Religions written by Joseph Mitsuo Kitagawa and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1987 with Religion categories.

This volume collects essays by the renowned scholar and historian of religion Joseph M. Kitagawa. The collection is organized into three parts. Part one presents essays examining such topics as the history of the discipline, its place in the academy, and some of its basic categories and tenets. Part two offers what Kitagawa calls studies in "applied history of religions." These essays demonstrate how insights derived from the practice of the history of religions can be applied to the political and spiritual problems of the day. In a third and concluding section, Kitagawa reflects on his own intellectual heritage, with essays on Joachim Wach, Mircea Eliade, D.T. Suzuki, Gerardus van der Leeuw, Paul Tillich, and Hendrik Kraemer.
