Overview

From the earliest days of existence, humans have felt the need to place their faith in a code of beliefs and a higher spiritual being or force. While the particular aspects of faith vary from culture to culture, the basic desire for religion seems universal. This work offers insights into how different cultures' beliefs evolved, how their influence spread, and where they came into conflict with each other. It shows how religions developed and spread across geographical boundaries. Specially commissioned maps explain the origins and spread of different beliefs, and a timeline shows parallel thinking of various religions in different regions of the world.
