The Essence of Religion: Parts 1 & 2

"The Essence of Religion: Parts 1 & 2" is a compilation of two short meditations - "The Essence of Religion" and "In the Service of Our Lord" - concerning the essence, meaning, and purpose of religion. In it, I argue the case - by analyzing scripture and religious thought, with particular emphasis on the Doctrine of Christos - that the essence of religion is love culminating in the brotherhood of man and that the purpose of religion is service or goodwill. It is written from a primarily Christian viewpoint; however, it is generally applicable to all religions.
