Summary "Lectures on the Origin and Growth of Religion as Illustrated by the Native Religions of Mexico and Peru" by Albert Réville is a scholarly work written in the late 19th century. This collection of lectures, delivered at Oxford and London, delves into the historical development of religion through the examination of the native religions of Mexico and Peru, highlighting their significance and influences on modern religious thought. At the start of the lectures, Réville sets the stage by discussing the importance of understanding the historical context of religion, emphasizing that the evolution of religious beliefs is a continuous process deeply rooted in human nature. He introduces the audience to the fascinating and complex religious landscape of pre-Columbian America, describing the civilizations of the Mexicans and Peruvians, their gods, religious practices, and the impacts of European colonization. The opening establishes the framework for a deeper exploration of specific deities, rituals, and religious systems that shaped the spiritual lives of these indigenous peoples, inviting readers to consider broader themes of spirituality and human experience.
