Origins of the Sacred: The Ecstasies of Love and War
by Dudley Young
Category: Religion

A groundbreaking examination of the development of religion and sacredness as seen through the art, mythology, customs, and literature of our ancestors. Young points the way toward defining and returning to a mythic voice that was once the heart of the human soul. "A dazzling exposition . . . that goes far to establish Young as the Joseph Campbell of the nineties".--Kirkus. Index.
