Religion in History and in Modern Life is a book written by A.M. Fairbairn that explores the role of religion in both historical and modern contexts. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part examining the history of religion and its impact on society throughout the ages. Fairbairn delves into the various religious traditions and practices that have shaped human civilization, from ancient polytheistic religions to the major monotheistic faiths of today.In the second part of the book, Fairbairn turns his attention to the role of religion in modern life. He explores how religion continues to shape and influence contemporary society, discussing topics such as the relationship between religion and science, the impact of secularism, and the challenges facing religious communities in the modern world.The book also includes an essay on the Church and the working class, in which Fairbairn examines the historical and social context of working-class religion. He explores the ways in which religion has been used by the working class as a means of coping with the challenges of poverty and social inequality, and the role of the Church in supporting and empowering these communities.Overall, Religion in History and in Modern Life is a comprehensive exploration of the role of religion in human society, both past and present. It offers valuable insights into the ways in which religion has shaped and continues to shape our world, and the challenges and opportunities facing religious communities in the modern era.1893.
