The History of Faith and Religious Ideas: From the Stone Age to the Eleusinian Mysteries
19.99 €
This work is a classic example of a study in the history of religion. Religious ideas are presented here not only in chronological order, but also united by a common understanding of the diversity of religious life in all cultures and continents. Eliade masterfully masters the methods of comparative anthropology and demonstrates common trends in the development of religious ideas. "For the historian of religions, every manifestation of the sacred is significant: every ritual, every myth, every belief, and every image of the deity reflects the experience of the sacred and therefore carries with it the concepts of being, meaning, and truth." The book spans from the magical worlds of the Stone Age to the religions of ancient civilizations and the religion of biblical revelation: "At the most archaic levels of culture, living as befits a human being is itself a religious act, because eating, sex, and labor have sacramental value."
