These are the original records of the First Congress of Religions, an epoch-making event in the history of religions. Organized by the Parliament of Religions to coincide with the World Columbian Exposition in Chicago, it provided the very first encounter of Asian religions with the West. Reprinted here is the full record of the Congress published by the Official Publishers of the World’s Columbian Exposition Catalogue in 1893. It includes nearly 150 black-and-white pictures.
