""The Evolution of Theology: An Anthropological Study"" is a book written by Thomas Henry Huxley, a prominent biologist and anthropologist of the 19th century. The book presents a comprehensive analysis of the historical development of theology from its earliest origins to the modern era, using anthropological and evolutionary perspectives. Huxley argues that theology has evolved through a process of adaptation to changing social and cultural contexts, as well as through the influence of scientific and philosophical ideas. He explores the various ways in which different cultures have developed their own theological systems, and how these systems have been shaped by factors such as geography, politics, and economic conditions. The book also examines the relationship between theology and science, and how the two have interacted throughout history. Huxley argues that theology has often been used to explain natural phenomena that were not well understood, and that scientific discoveries have challenged many traditional theological beliefs. Overall, ""The Evolution of Theology"" provides a fascinating and insightful look at the history of theology and its role in human culture and society. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion, anthropology, or the intersection of science and religion.I suppose that, so long as the human mind exists, it will not escape its deep-seated instinct to personify its intellectual conceptions. The science of the present day is as full of this particular form of intellectual shadow-worship as is the nescience of ignorant ages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
