Antique Books on Religion and Bibles

The many religions of the world have always interested us. Christianity, Judaism, Hebrew, Buddhism and Animism, the shaman, the preacher, and the priest all caught up in the fever of writing. Antique bibles were often used to record family records and provided a genealogical look into our heritage as well as being pleasing looking books of display. Books on religion shape our very existence to this day.

Religion permeated almost every aspect of Victorian life and culture, from Parliamentary politics to issues of marriage and sexuality, from class relations to literature. In order to understand Victorian culture and writings, modern readers need to understand Victorian religion in its public and its private aspects. The sheer diversity of Victorian religious experience is a source of confusion. Doctrinal disputes and discoveries in science or textual criticism that loomed so large for Victorian Christians are now hard for most people to appreciate.
