Since 1492, when Christopher Columbus landed in the New World and was hailed as a messenger from heaven, random gods have haunted our era. From Haile Selassie, who was proclaimed the Living God in Jamaica, to Britain's Prince Philip, who happened to be the key figure of a new religion on an island in the South Pacific, men who have become divine - specifically men - have appeared on every continent. And because these deifications always arise in moments of upheaval - civil wars, imperial conquests, revolutions - they have much to teach us.
Over five centuries, a pantheon of fascinating deities has developed in different parts of the planet, the study of which helps answer the difficult questions of how our modern concept of religion was invented and why religion and politics are constantly intertwined in our supposedly secular age.
