Author Description

Superstitions of the Churches: Ancient and Modern is a book written by William R. Sunman and published in 1874. The book explores the various superstitions and beliefs that have arisen within the Christian church throughout history, ranging from the early days of the church to the present day. Sunman discusses the origins of these superstitions, their evolution over time, and the impact they have had on the church and its followers. Some of the topics covered in the book include the use of relics, the veneration of saints, the practice of pilgrimages, and the belief in miracles. Sunman also examines the role that superstitions have played in shaping the church's doctrines and practices, and argues that many of these beliefs are not supported by scripture or reason. The book provides a fascinating insight into the history of the Christian church and the various cultural and societal factors that have influenced its development over time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
