Religion in History and in Modern Life is a book by A.M. Fairbairn that explores the role of religion in human history and its relevance in modern times. The book is divided into two parts. The first part delves into the historical significance of religion, tracing its origins and development throughout human history. Fairbairn discusses the impact of religion on society, culture, and politics, and how it has shaped the world we live in today.The second part of the book focuses on the role of religion in modern life. Fairbairn examines the challenges faced by religion in the modern world, including secularism, materialism, and scientific rationalism. He argues that religion remains relevant in the modern world and that it has an important role to play in shaping our values, beliefs, and attitudes.In addition to these two parts, the book also includes an essay on the church and the working class.
