The Contemporary Evolution of Religious Thought in England, America and India is a book written by Count Goblet d'Alviella. The book explores the development of religious thought in three countries - England, America, and India - during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author examines the ways in which religious ideas have evolved in each country, and how they have been influenced by factors such as science, philosophy, and politics. He also looks at the role of individual thinkers and leaders in shaping religious thought, and how their ideas have impacted wider society.The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different country. In the section on England, the author examines the impact of Darwinism and other scientific developments on religious thought, as well as the rise of spiritualism and other alternative forms of religion. In the section on America, he looks at the influence of pragmatism and other philosophical movements on religious thought, as well as the role of religion in politics and social reform. In the section on India, the author explores the ways in which Hinduism and other traditional religions have been impacted by Western ideas and colonialism, as well as the rise of new religious movements such as Theosophy and Vedanta.Overall, The Contemporary Evolution of Religious Thought in England, America and India provides a comprehensive overview of the ways in which religious thought has evolved in these three countries during a period of significant social and intellectual change.1886.
