Bibliolatry

Bibliolatry: An Essay (1862) is a work by James Hughes that explores the concept of bibliolatry, or the worship of books. In this essay, Hughes argues that the excessive veneration of the Bible, or any other book, can be detrimental to one's spiritual growth and understanding of religion. He examines the historical and cultural roots of bibliolatry, as well as its impact on religious practices and beliefs. Hughes also offers a critique of the literal interpretation of scripture and advocates for a more nuanced and contextual approach to religious texts. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the role of books in religion and the potential dangers of their worship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
