âEveryone who cares about the human adventure will find new information and new angles of vision.ââMartin E. Marty, The New York Times Book Review This extraordinary work delves into the subject of religion in the prehistoric and ancient worldsâhumankindâs earliest quests for meaning. From Neanderthal burials to the mythology of the Iron Age, to the religions of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Israel, India, and beyond, it offers both an appreciation of the wide-ranging diversity of religious expressionâand a consideration of the fundamental unity of religious phenomena. âWill arouse the interest of all historians of western religion, since it includes chapters on the religions of Canaan and Israel. However, the book must be read cover to cover if one wants to grasp the significance of its gigantic historical scope.ââChurch History
