The Religions of Mankind
By Hans Joachim SchoepsA major work on the origins, the basic concepts and the historical growth of mankind's various beliefs in divine powers from the most primitive beginnings to the latest developments in today's major religions, this is a fascinating, analytic history of the long chain of beliefs that have led man from primitive fear of the unknown powers surrounding him to the philosophical subtleties of modern theology. It is a panoramic demonstration of what archaeologists, anthropologists and other scientists have found out about man's basic need to believe in and worship unseen powers as well as the characteristics and attributes of the founders of great religions like Buddha, Christ and Mohammed; of prophets, and priest and reformers.
