Overview

Excerpt from The Historical Bases of Religions: Primitive, Babylonian and Jewish The life of religion is sustained by hope and expectation of benefits to be derived from divine sources. Originally these benefits were of a temporal nature, but gradually, with the observation that virtue often suffered defeat while vice and crime were successful, the hopes of justice and reward for well-doing were transferred to a future life.
