""From Crypt to Pronaos: An Essay on the Rise and Fall of Dogma"" is a philosophical book written by S. J. Neill. The book explores the concept of dogma and its impact on human society throughout history. Neill argues that dogma, which is a set of beliefs or principles that are accepted without question, has been used by religious and political leaders to control and manipulate people. The book begins by tracing the origins of dogma in ancient civilizations and religions, and how it has evolved over time. Neill then examines the role of dogma in various historical events, such as the Inquisition and the Reformation, and how it has been used to justify violence and oppression. The latter half of the book focuses on the decline of dogma in modern times, particularly in the wake of scientific discoveries and the rise of secularism. Neill argues that the rejection of dogma has led to greater individual freedom and intellectual progress. Overall, ""From Crypt to Pronaos"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the role of dogma in human history and the potential benefits of rejecting it in favor of critical thinking and rational inquiry.Neill Was A Student Of Katherine Tingley.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
