The Growth of Religious Consciousness
Abstract
In the section on ‘Original Monotheism’ we noted a suggestion that primitive man formed a notion of the Infinite from his experience of things of which his senses could perceive no limit, and that this experiential sense of the Infinite had its parallel in the religious development of young children who associated Big Beings with Big Things.
