- catalog description "Religious persecution is sinful, because no one has a right to stand between another human soul and God. Religions cannot be inculcated by force--There is no such thing as a belief that is not held voluntarily. Absolute reality is a mystery to which there is more than one approach. The pilgrims exploring different approaches are fellow-seekers of the same goal ; The task of disengaging the essence from the non-essentials in mankind's religious heritage ; Selves, suffering, self-centredness, and love.".
- catalog description "The adoption of the methods of observation and experiment ; The world's reception of a secularized late modern Western civilization ; Annexe: Contemporary expressions of the seventeenth-century West's revulsion from the West's traditional religious intolerance: Pagans and atheists have been no worse than Christians. Muslims are no worse than Christians, except at the trade of making infernal machines ; The re-erection of two Greco-Roman idols ; The idolization of the invincible technician ; The religious outlook in a twentieth-century world ; Annexe: The seventeenth-century reaction in the West against religious intolerance: The pertinence of seventeenth-century motives in the twentieth century. A resort to force is apt to provoke a resistance which may recoil upon the aggressor. Religious conflict is a public nuisance which easily becomes a public danger. Religious conflict is sinful, because it arouses the wild beast in human nature. ".
