Produced by Al Haines "An Introduction to the Study of Comparative Religion" by Frank Byron Jevons is a scholarly examination of the various forms of religious belief and practice, written in the early 20th century. The text serves as part of a series of lectures aimed at students and missionaries, providing a framework for understanding the historical and contextual significance of world religions, with a specific focus on how these can relate to the missionary efforts of Christianity. The work endeavors to explore the evolution of religious thought and the intrinsic values associated with different belief systems. At the start of the publication, Jevons sets the groundwork by discussing the purpose of studying comparative religion in relation to its practical application, especially for missionaries. He emphasizes that while the science of religion can document and compare various faiths, it remains neutral on the question of their ultimate truth or value. This initial portion outlines the significant role that comparative religion plays in understanding humanity's quest for the divine, detailing the ways in which differing beliefs can share similarities and yet reveal critical differences that warrant consideration in religious practice and outreach.
