History of All Religions: Containing a Statement of the Origin, Development, Doctrines, Forms of Worship and Government of All the Religious Denominations in the World (Classic Reprint)

The larger and more extensive of these are composed of articles on the Religious Sects in the United States, which were written by members of the several denominations described, and are often expanded into immense length by reiterated and familiar arguments intended to demonstrate the truthfulness andS criptural authority of theS ects to which the respective writers belonged. This method of treatment is much better suited to works on Polemic Theology than to those which profess merely to contain a statement of opinions and a narrative of events. On the other hand, the smaller works which have appeared on this subject are superficial and incomplete, being generally made up of very short articles, of clippings fromE ncyclopaedias and Biographical Dictionaries, and are utterly unfit to convey even to the general reader a satisfactory idea of the various subjects which come under consideration.
