About the Author
James Haughton Woods (1864-1935) pioneered Asian studies at Harvard, shaping its academic landscape. After extensive studies in Europe and India, he returned to Harvard in 1903. He became a professor of Indian philosophy, translating Paul Deussen's work. Woods expanded his focus to Buddhism and East Asia, advocating for faculty positions and establishing the Harvard-Yenching Institute. His legacy endures through scholarly contributions and institutional developments.

Preface
THESE lectures were delivered at the General Theolo-gical Seminary in New York during January and Feb-ruary of this year. The general topic assigned for the lectures was Comparative Religion. My interest in this subject, persistent for many years, was first aroused by the Paddock Lecturer for 1882, a man who stimulated all my ideals, who revealed to me the charm of the scholar's life, and who bound my life to his in loyal admiration forever. To him I have ventured to dedicate this work. The general method which I have followed and tried further to develop I owe to lectures of Kaftan; to work under Harnack in several successive seminars; and last of all to personal suggestions from Windelband, in lectures and on delightful strolls up the valleys of the Vosges. With classes at the university, my treatment of the sub-ject has adapted itself to the men with whom, from year to year, I have studied the Science of Religion. The reli-gious traditions of these men are divers; but Jews and mystics, Buddhists and Vedantists, are one with Chris-tians and agnostics in their desire to find common ground.
