From such unpromising beginnings, through the successive stages of polytheistic idolatries, religion was gradually led up, in the advance of the general life of the people and through the inspirations of a series of great men, to the recognition of One Eternal and infinite Being; the Lord of nature and of man, the Father of all mankind, Holy, Just and Gracious; whose truest worship is the aspirations of his children after goodness. A singular succession of great men arise to save and revive and reform religion in every critical epoch. keywords: age; bible; book; christ; church; day; divine; earth; find; form; god; growth; history; holy; human; ideal; israel; knowledge; law; life; light; literature; lord; love; man; men; mind; moral; nation; nature; new; order; people; period; power; prophets; read; religion; soul; spirit; testament; thought; thy; time; use; words; work; world; worship; writings cache: 12282.txt plain text: 12282.txt item: #2 of 36 id: 13204 author: Shedd, William G.
