The World'S Religions : The History Of Religion

Are you curious about the creation of the universe and the creatures that inhabit it? If so, you are not alone. Since ancient man first peered up into the heavens, stories about how the natural world came to be and man's place in it abound. In the modern era, philosophers, theologians, and psychologists all have weighed in on these questions. All cultures and religions have creation stories that have been passed down through generations and across centuries. They have survived to the present day through word of mouth, ritual, art, literature, and architecture. The primordial progenitors of modern day Egyptians, Greeks, and Scandinavians emerged from raging elements to procreate all by themselves and in other mind bending ways. Man-like deities battled phantasmagorical creatures for dominion over the earth and then wreaked havoc among their own mortal creations. Mythical and biblical siblings squabbled, connived, and sometimes reconciled. These are but brief glimpses into stories of the brave, righteous, and infamous among ancient pantheons. This book contains their stories. It's designed to entertain you and no doubt leave you wanting to explore more on your own.
