A secondary religious bibliography of by Stefan Andersson

IN GENERAL AGREEMENT with previous secondary bibliographies in Russell, I have compiled a secondary religious bibliography of Bertrand Russell. I In introducing it I shall say something about the problems connected with its compilation, the principles of selection, and finally a few words about the general picture one gets of what has been written about Russell and religion between 1901 and 1987. There is one problem in this context that has to be faced, and that is what is meant by "religion" as opposed to "ethics", "morals", "pol­ itics", etc. Russell used the word in several different ways. In his first book, German Social Democracy (1896), he describes social democracy as a religion. 2 In a letter to Alys he describes her as "my Life, my Joy, my Religion",3 and to Lady Ottoline he writes, "how utterly, rever­ ently, and religiously I love yoU."4 In his "Reply to Criticisms" he dis­ tinguishes between three different aspects of religion and ends by saying that he has found many people unsatisfactory without some form

Some important essays, e.g. "The Free Man's his ideas concerning ethics, politics and education; are the latter Worship" from 1903 and "Mysticism and Logic" from 1914, were derived from his religious views, or are they independent of each other? reprinted as part of books. That is why they are not listed here. Perhaps one can associate his religious, ethical, and political views with The establishment of a primary religious bibliography of Russell's his logical and epistemological ideas or vice versa?
