Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Classification of Religions: Different Methods, Their Advantages and Disadvantages
D. Classifications from racial relationships and from actually traceable mutual historical influences (including linguistic and other genealogical schemes).
All of these methods of grouping (even those under A) have their value, often a very great one. They only over step their province when they claim to be the sole legitimate method or even the best method. They can at most do what it is possible for a classification to do, viz., illustrate a certain general phase, relationship, tendency, etc. Each must in the nature of the case omit the special advantages of the others; yet through all, the general character of the subject may be seen, just as one can see and recognize the same landscape from different points of view, while in each new standpoint we get new and otherwise impossible impressions. He will know it best who is at pains to view it from all the available points. So in the study of religions, the most varied views should be most welcome, so long as they are not partial, overdrawn, or fantastically colored. Only by various classifications and methods of study is it possible to bring out the manifoldness of the great idea.

Excerpt from The Classification of Religions: Different Methods, Their Advantages and Disadvantages
Every analysis of religion proceeds from assumptions which when written out or expounded become a philosophy. Hence in the pages which follow we have an epitomization of some of the leading philosophies of religion. The thoughtful study of these analyses or classifications must surely lead to a better understanding of the further problem, viz., of the nature of religion itself. Each historic religion furnishes an example of some phase of the religious nature and tendency of mankind; and comparative analysis shows how incompletely the fulness of religion, as we are coming to see it, has been represented by each of them. With the vast accumulation of facts before us, it is plain that no other feature of human life has been so dominating. Taken up in the modern spirit, no other study will repay the effort expended with so great an extension and illumination of view.
