Shinto - The Ancient Religion of Japan

More about the book

Focusing on Shinto, this treatise serves as a comprehensive resource for scientific students of religion, highlighting significant facts and offering an outline theory on the origins and early development of religion with a particular emphasis on Shinto evidence. It approaches the subject positively, viewing religion as a natural aspect of humanity rather than a pathology. Influenced by continental scholars such as Réville and Goblet D'Alviella, the work aims to provide a thorough understanding of Shinto within the broader context of religious studies.
