From the concept of homo religious by Mircea Eliade, Julien Ries elaborated a new disciplinary field: religious anthropology. The anthropological view allows to study the origin of religions, and what man created and lived on the religious level before their birth. This volume applies the same method to observe the emerging of great religions. A very topical work, with an astounding iconographical documentation.
