About this listen

Religion in Human Evolution is a work of extraordinary ambition—a wide-ranging, nuanced probing of our biological past to discover the kinds of lives that human beings have most often imagined were worth living. It offers what is frequently seen as a forbidden theory of the origin of religion that goes deep into evolution, especially but not exclusively cultural evolution.

This is a long, technical and complicated read. The author refers to words in many ancient languages. There are also passages of ancient text as well as exploration and reasoning. The reader manages all this brilliantly, I followed the arguments and analysis due to the clear and coherent way the reader brings to life Bellah’s words. Thoroughly enjoyed

So well read!
