Volume deals chiefly with the collection and exhibition Of the data furnished by religious experience. It attempts a general survey Of the phenomenology Of religion, as regarded from the historical and psychological points Of view. A mere refer ence to the titles Of the three different Parts into which this Volume is divided will make this more clear. It need only to be added in this connection that, in treating Of the religious being of man, I have laid especial emphasis upon those larger, social reactions Of the human Self which relate the spiritual life and development to all the other important forms of race culture. In this way Only can the immense social value which religion necessarily has, be made sufficiently apparent.
