the articulation of that vision, ac- quiescence in the commanding nature of Ultimate Reality,.
and the ac- tualization of its command in all of a persons actions toward oneself, other humans, and nature.
. The study of religions is the sovereign queen of the humanities.
In a sense, all the humanities, including the comparative ones [anthropology, sociology, psychology, and politico-economics], are her front-line soldiers whose duties are the collection of data, and their analysis, systematization, and reconstruc— tion into meaning-wholes.
The subject matter of these disciplines is mens ideas and actions in all fields of human endeavor; and all these are, as we have seen, constituents of the religio-cultural wholes which the science of religions proper studies as wholes, and compares, and relates to man and God in the attempt to reach the truth of both.
It is, rather, by itself a college of liberal arts, each department of which is organically related to the center, whose job is to make sense out of the infinite diversity of the religio-cultural experience, and thus contribute to the reconstruction of mans knowledge of himselfi to his rehabilitation in an apparently alien cosmos, to his realization of value.
Inasmuch therefore as comparative religion is a collection and systematization of facts about human acts, life, and relations, it is a college.
Inasmuch as comparative religion is an evaluation or judgement of meaning- wholes with the aid of a body of critical meta-religious principles, it is the queen of the humanities.
