History

  •  Refers to the written record of human religious experiences and ideas. This period of religious history begins with the invention of writing about 5,200 years ago (3200 BCE). The prehistory of religion involves the study of religious beliefs that existed prior to the advent of written records. One can also study comparative religious chronology through a timeline of religion.
    The word "religion" as used in the 21st century does not have an obvious pre-colonial translation into non-European languages. The anthropologist Daniel Dubuisson writes that "what the West and the history of religions in its wake have objectified under the name 'religion' is ... something quite unique, which could be appropriate only to itself and its own history". The history of other cultures' interaction with the "religious" category is therefore their interaction with an idea that first developed in Europe under the influence of Christianity.

    The school of religious history called the 

  • ReligionsgeschichtlicheSchule, a late 19th-century German school of thought, originated the systematic study of religion as a socio-cultural phenomenon. It depicted religion as evolving with human culture, from primitive polytheism to ethical monotheism.

    The 
  • ReligionsgeschichtlicheSchule
      emerged at a time when scholarly study of the Bible and of church history flourished in Germany and elsewhere (see higher criticism, also called the historical-critical method). The study of religion is important: religion and similar concepts have often shaped civilizations' law and moral codes, social structure, art and music.

The Nagle Coat of Arms has the horizontal bar fess is azure with tree diamonds in gold with nightingale on top of the escutheon of shield shape surface. In heraldry, gold denoted generosity and elevation of the mind. The fess or band in the center of the shield is the military belt or girdle of honour. Azure or blue signified loyalty and truth. The oak design predominates. Under the escutheon is a scroll bearing the Nagle motto: “Non VoxVotum”-Not a Voice but a Wish or more freely translated “NOT WORDS BUT DEEDS”.
The Presentation Sister adopted the Nagle Coat of Arms with some modifications. The nightingale was replaced by a cross and effulgence as found on the ring worn by the Presentation Sisters-symbol of faith and strength.
