Sun Worship

Sun Worship, a form of Nature worship which in the earliest ages seems to have been more widely dlffused among peoples that had risen from the condition of hunters to that of tillers of the soil, probably for the reason that the sun's influence would be more beneficial to the agriculturist than to the hunter. From the East it passed to Greece and Rome. It is frequently denounced in the Old Testament, yet from it the prophets of the Old Law borrowed much striking imagery.
