A History of Religious Ideas Volume 1

From the Stone Age to the Eleusinian Mysteries

By: Mircea Eliade

Narrated by: Peter Noble

"Everyone who cares about the human adventure will find new information and new angles of vision."—Martin E. Marty, The New York Times Book Review

This extraordinary work delves into the subject of religion in the prehistoric and ancient worlds—humankind's earliest quests for meaning. From Neanderthal burials to the mythology of the Iron Age, to the religions of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Israel, India, and beyond, it offers both an appreciation of the wide-ranging diversity of religious expression—and a consideration of the fundamental unity of religious phenomena.

This audiobook is expertly read by Peter Noble, with audio engineering by Allie McSwain. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Comprehensive

I love the way Eliade weaves seemingly separate belief systems throughout time and place. Peter Noble is also probably my favorite reader on audible.

What a time to be alive

Enjoyed the book, will take in again.... Robert Moore always mentioned him in his lectures....
