By Sophia Dobson Collet

Book Overview

The Brahmo Yearbook for 1876-1879 is a book written by Sophia Dobson Collet, originally published in 1876. The book is a collection of brief records of work and life in the Theistic Churches of India during the years 1876 to 1879. The Theistic Churches were a religious movement that emerged in Bengal, India in the 19th century, and were influenced by the teachings of Raja Ram Mohan Roy, who sought to reform Hinduism and promote monotheism. The book provides a fascinating insight into the beliefs, practices and social activities of the Theistic Churches during this period. It includes information on the establishment of new churches, the appointment of ministers, the organization of congregations, and the growth of the movement. There are also details of the various social and educational initiatives undertaken by the churches, including the establishment of schools and the promotion of women's education.The author, Sophia Dobson Collet, was a British writer and social reformer who spent several years in India during the late 19th century. She was a supporter of the Theistic Churches and worked closely with many of their leaders. Her book is an important historical document that sheds light on a little-known aspect of Indian religious and social history. It is a valuable resource for scholars of religion, history, and sociology, as well as anyone interested in the history of India and its people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
