Gilad Sommer | 5 comments Hi there,
The quote that appears in relation to the book:
“Religions are branches from a common trunk—human ignorance.”
While it may appeal to some readers, is actually taken out of context.
In the book the writer (Annie Besant) gives it as an example of what she does not agree with. Mentioning that some people think like that.
That can be misleading for people who want to read the book and see this quote. Is it possible to erase it? The quote that she identifies with is "Religions are branches from a common trunk - Divine Wisdom".
