On Mankind their Origin and Destiny V1

1872. Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 076612620X. Volume 1 of 2. (This description is for all volumes.) This book is mentioned in several of Manly P. Hall's works, most notably Secret Teachings of All Ages. "The origin and destiny of man are subjects which, though inseparably connected with each other, are usually treated of as distinct. In ancient times this was not the case. Theology was based upon such science as existed at that time, and Science and Theology were consequently in harmony with each other. This harmony has long ceased to exist."
