The Great Story of Belief: A Comparative History of Religion Across Civilizations: From Human Origins to Global Transformation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798258679499)

How did human belief begin? Why do different religions share similar ideas? And how did ancient traditions transform into today's global religious landscape?
The Great Story of Belief takes readers on a sweeping journey across civilizations-exploring how humanity has understood existence, morality, and the divine from the earliest migrations out of Africa to the modern world.
Drawing from history, anthropology, philosophy, and comparative religion, this book examines:
- The origins of belief systems in ancient civilizations
- Shared patterns across cultures (Egypt, China, India, Greece, the Americas, and Oceania)
- The rise of major religious traditions
- How beliefs evolve through continuity, disruption, and adaptation
- The transformation into modern religious and secular frameworks
With clear visual frameworks, structured analysis, and global scope, this work presents a compelling thesis:
Human belief systems, though diverse in form, share underlying structures shaped by common questions and experiences.
Ideal for readers of history, religion, philosophy, and global studies, this book offers a fresh, accessible perspective on one of humanity's most enduring pursuits-the search for meaning.
A powerful synthesis of past and present, revealing unity within diversity.
