Bibliolatry: An Essay is a book written by James Hughes in 1862. The book is an essay that explores the concept of bibliolatry, which is the worship of books. Hughes argues that the Bible, as a book, should not be worshipped or idolized, but rather should be read and understood as a tool for spiritual growth and enlightenment. He criticizes the idea of blindly following religious doctrines without questioning their validity or relevance in modern times. The book is a thought-provoking examination of the role of religion and the Bible in society, and is still relevant today in discussions about the relationship between faith and reason.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
