Civilization By Faith (1899)

Civilization By Faith is a book written by John Granville Woolley and published in 1899. The book explores the relationship between religion and civilization, arguing that faith is a necessary component for the development and maintenance of a civilized society. Woolley examines the role that religion has played in the history of civilization, from the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Greece to the modern Western world. He argues that religion provides a moral framework for society, and that without it, civilization would be in danger of collapsing into chaos. Woolley also discusses the ways in which religion has been used to justify violence and oppression, and acknowledges the need for a critical examination of religious beliefs and practices. He argues that while religion can be a force for good, it can also be a source of conflict and division, and that it is important to separate true faith from false and harmful beliefs. Overall, Civilization By Faith is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between religion and civilization, and a call for a deeper understanding of the role that faith plays in shaping our world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
