The World Beyond: Passages From Oriental And Primitive Religions, written by Justin Hartley Moore and first published in 1920, is a collection of texts and excerpts from various Eastern and indigenous religious traditions. The book presents a diverse range of spiritual beliefs and practices from cultures such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Native American religions. The texts are organized thematically, covering topics such as creation myths, the afterlife, the nature of the divine, and ethical principles. Each section is introduced with a brief explanation of the beliefs and practices of the culture from which the texts were drawn. The purpose of the book is to provide readers with a broad understanding of the diversity of religious beliefs and practices around the world, and to encourage an appreciation for the spiritual traditions of other cultures. The book is intended for a general audience and does not assume any prior knowledge of the religions discussed. Overall, The World Beyond is a valuable resource for anyone interested in comparative religion, anthropology, or cultural studies. It provides a window into the spiritual beliefs and practices of cultures vastly different from our own, and encourages readers to approach these traditions with an open mind and a spirit of curiosity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
