External Religion: Its Use And Abuse is a book written by George Tyrrell in 1899. The book explores the concept of external religion, which refers to the outward practices and rituals of religion, as opposed to the internal beliefs and spirituality. Tyrrell argues that external religion can be both beneficial and harmful, depending on how it is used. On one hand, external religion can provide structure and guidance for individuals seeking spiritual fulfillment. On the other hand, it can also be used to manipulate and control people, leading to hypocrisy and a lack of true spiritual growth. Tyrrell draws on examples from various religions and historical periods to illustrate his points. The book is a thought-provoking examination of the role of external religion in human society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
