{"product_id":"the-essence-of-christianity-9781605204444","title":"The Essence of Christianity","description":"In The Essence of Christianity-this is the classic 1853 translation of the 1841 German original-Feuerbach discusses the \"true or anthropological\" root of religion, exploring how everything from the nature of God to the mysteries of mysticism and prayer can be viewed through such a prism. He goes on to examine the \"false\" essences of religion, including contradictions in ideas of the existence of a deity, and then how God and religion are merely expressions of human emotion. This is essential background reading for understanding everything from Marx's Communist Manifesto to modern apolitical philosophies of atheism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ludwig Feuerbach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics Philosophy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781605204444","brand":"Cosimo Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711232249993,"sku":"9781605204444","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_c1db889c-6ec7-41b0-9bf0-7c0d5e742dc5.jpg?v=1719564707","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-essence-of-christianity-9781605204444","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
