Book Overview

""An Essay Toward The Conversion Of Learned And Philosophical Hindus"" is a book written by John Brande Morris in 1843. The book is a discourse on the conversion of Hindus who are learned and philosophical in nature. Morris argues that Hinduism is a religion that is deeply rooted in tradition and superstition, and that it is incompatible with reason and logic. He believes that the learned and philosophical Hindus are more likely to see the flaws in their religion and be open to conversion to Christianity. The book is divided into two parts. In the first part, Morris provides an overview of Hinduism and its beliefs. He discusses the caste system, the worship of multiple gods, and the concept of karma. Morris argues that these beliefs are illogical and that they hinder the progress of the Hindu people. In the second part of the book, Morris presents his argument for why Christianity is a better religion for the learned and philosophical Hindus. He discusses the teachings of Jesus Christ and how they are more logical and reasonable than the teachings of Hinduism. Overall, ""An Essay Toward The Conversion Of Learned And Philosophical Hindus"" is a persuasive argument for the conversion of Hindus to Christianity. Morris presents his case in a clear and concise manner, and his arguments are well-supported by evidence and logical reasoning.
