Sinopsis

""The Threshold Covenant Or The Beginning Of Religious Rites"" is a book written by H. Clay Trumbull and published in 1906. The book explores the concept of the threshold covenant, which is a religious rite that dates back to ancient times. The threshold covenant was a ritual that involved passing through a threshold or doorway as a symbol of entering into a new phase of life or a new relationship with the divine. Trumbull examines the threshold covenant in various cultures and religions, including ancient Hebrew, Greek, and Roman traditions. He also explores the role of the threshold covenant in modern Christianity and how it has evolved over time. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of the threshold covenant. Trumbull provides detailed historical and cultural context for each example, as well as analysis and interpretation of the significance of the ritual. Overall, ""The Threshold Covenant Or The Beginning Of Religious Rites"" is a comprehensive exploration of a fascinating and important aspect of religious history and practice. It is a valuable resource for scholars of religion, anthropology, and cultural studies, as well as anyone interested in the history and evolution of religious rites and rituals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

This work does not treat of the origin of mans religious faculty, or of the origin of the sentiment of religion ;nor does it enter the domain of theological discussion. It simply attempts to show the beginning of religious rites, by which man evidenced a belief, however obtained, in the possibility of covenant relations between God and man; and the gradual development of those rites, with the progress of the race toward a higher degree of civilization and enlightenment. Necessarily the volume is not addressed to a popular audience, but to students in the lessons of primitive life and culture. In a former volume, The Blood Covenant I sought to show the origin of sacrifice, and the significance of transferred or proffered blood or life. The facts given in that work have been widely accepted as lying at the basis of fundamental doctrines declared in the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, and have also been recognized as the source of perverted views which have had prominence in the principal ethnic religions of the world.
