Excerpt from The Science of Religion, Fundamental Faiths Expressed, in Modern TermsThe most important question in the world is propounded in the book of Job, which book is probably the oldest piece of literature now known to mankind. The question was doubtless hoary with age even in the remote days of Job, and the onward march of evolution and education has constantly accentuated it. Here it is: "If a man die, shall he live again?"If it be a fact that men and women continue to live as self-conscious individuals after the death of the physical body, that one fact is of more vital and tremendous importance to mankind than all the other facts of nature taken together. It is, always has been, and ever must be, the one theme in which a death-shadowed race is more keenly interested than in any other. If interest seems sometimes to abate, it is merely because men and women have despaired of getting a satisfactory answer. The world-old question is always there, looming up like a mountain range on the mental horizon, though attention is sometimes momentarily detracted from it.The importance of the question raises to a place of immediate and vital interest any dependable collection of established facts which in any way tends to answer it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
