Ancient Faiths And ModernIn 'Ancient Faiths and Modern', Thomas Inman explores the history of religious customs and divinities before the Christian era, with a focus on Central and Western Asia, Europe, and beyond. Inman began his journey to understanding the healing arts while working as a surgeon and witnessing the varying practices of his colleagues. He realized that the physician's power for good was limited and began to investigate the laws of health and disease. Inman discovered that many good men and women, including clergymen, aspired to the position of medical professors without going through the usual career, resulting in heterodox and orthodox sides. The book delves into the suppression of truth in the pulpit and the culpable coloring in accounts of heathen cults. Inman's work provides insight into ancient religions and their influence on mankind, revealing that good and bad individuals can be found in every nation and that some pagan virtues surpass those of Christianity. |
