About this book
Comparative Religion is a book by J. Estlin Carpenter. The contents list names, among others, the chapters Introductory, The Panorama of Religions, Religion in the Lower Culture and Spirits and Gods. The text says that two famous teachers, Honen (1133-1212) and Shin-ran (1173-1262), developed the doctrine of salvation by faith. The text says Honen was the only son of a military chief who died of a wound inflicted by an enemy.
The text speaks of efforts springing from manifold emotions of hope and fear, of affection and reverence, and uses the term worship, including sacrifice and prayer. The text says karma could not be destroyed, and that no fire could burn it, nor could water or wind drown or disperse it.
