Description
Excerpt from The Religion of Ancient Greece
In?uence of Modern Scientific Methods - The study Of religion as a whole is a tardy modern growth. SO long as religions were divided into one true and the rest false, progress was natu rally impossible. The slow pressure Of science introduced first the comparative, then the his torical method. The facts Of ancient and savage religions being once collected and laid side by side, it became immediately evident that there were resemblances as well as differences, and some sort Of classification was possible. Then came the historical impulse, the desire to see if in religion also there existed a law Of development, and if the facts Of religion succeeded each other in any ascertainable order.
