God: Myths of the Male Divine
In a companion work to their previous volume Goddess (LJ 10/15/94), the authors present the concept of the god through the ages. Illustrated by myths of many different times and lands, the continuous mystery of life seems always transformed into human forms. Whether shaman, trickster, creator, or consort of the goddess, the male principle pervades all religions. This book provides a popularized version derived from much previous scholarship but is also a fresh and readable account. The illustrations and bibliography are excellent.
