“These writings by Timothy East were first published in England in a journal called “Spirit and Manners of the Age”. “The author is the same who prepared the Evangelical Rambler, which has been received with so much favor. We have collected the series as far as it went, in this small volume, and have added to it such other selections from the same work, as appeared to us peculiarly useful and important. We are confident, that it all tends to the interest of pure and undefiled religion.” — From the original publisher.

Christianity Contrasted With Hinduism by Timothy East
Christianity Contrasted With Hinduism by Timothy East

“…if the character of a religious system can be ascertained by the rites which it imposes, and the practices which it sanctions, I should not hesitate to pronounce the mythology of Hinduism to be cruel and obscene. If you examine it, you will not discern any of the amiable and lovely qualities which Christianity manifests. The emblems which adorn their temples, and the instruments with which their deities are armed, are more calculated to inspire dread than confidence, and betray the ruling passion of vengeance, which is found to operate in all their devotional exercises and social habits.” — Timothy East
