Publisher's Synopsis
A Layman's Religion is a book written by Roger Sherman Galer and originally published in 1921. This book is a philosophical exploration of religion from the perspective of a layman, or someone who is not a religious professional. Galer argues that religion is not just a matter of belief or adherence to a particular set of doctrines, but rather a way of life that involves a deep sense of purpose, meaning, and connection to the world around us.Throughout the book, Galer draws on a variety of religious traditions and philosophical perspectives to explore the nature of religion and its role in human life. He discusses the importance of ethics, the meaning of suffering, the nature of God, and the relationship between religion and science. Galer also explores the role of ritual and community in religious practice, and argues that religion can provide a sense of belonging and purpose that is essential to human flourishing.Overall, A Layman's Religion is a thoughtful and engaging exploration of the nature of religion and its role in human life. Galer's insights and reflections are sure to resonate with readers of all backgrounds and beliefs, and his accessible writing style makes this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the meaning and purpose of life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
