Description

External Religion: Its Use And Abuse is a book written by George Tyrrell and published in 1899. The book explores the role of external religion in the lives of individuals and communities, and how it can be both helpful and harmful. Tyrrell argues that external religious practices, such as attending church or performing rituals, can be beneficial in providing a sense of community and structure, but can also become empty and meaningless if they are not accompanied by genuine internal faith and devotion. He also critiques the use of external religion as a tool for power and control, and emphasizes the importance of individual spiritual experience and personal relationship with God. The book is a thought-provoking analysis of the complex relationship between external religion and personal faith, and remains relevant to contemporary discussions about the role of religion in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
