Childhood of Religions

""Childhood of Religions"" by Edward Clodd is a comprehensive book that delves into the origins and development of myths and legends that form the basis of various religions. The author presents a simple and accessible account of how these stories came to be, tracing their roots back to the earliest civilizations and exploring how they have evolved over time. Clodd examines the role of mythology in shaping human understanding of the world, and how it has been used to explain natural phenomena, human behavior, and the mysteries of life and death. He also explores the relationship between religion and science, and how the two have interacted and influenced each other throughout history. With its engaging narrative style and insightful analysis, ""Childhood of Religions"" is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of human belief systems and the evolution of human thought.1878. In the absence of any like elementary treatise upon subjects regarding which much ignorance and apathy prevail, and the treatment of which is at present confined to works for the most part high priced, and not always accessible, I hope that this book may not be regarded as needless, however far it falls short of the requirement which appears to me to exist, and which it ventures to temporarily supply.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
