商品簡介
Wasilewski (anthropology, U. of Utah-Salt Lake City) explores the forgotten narratives, myths, and traditions that played a central role in the accounts of creation found in the Old Testament and the Quran. She interprets tales of the Sumerians, Egyptians, Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Canaanites, Hebrews, Arabs, and the early Indo-Europeans. Finding that the concept of religion emerged only with the focus on a single male deity, she traces the gradual rise and fall of the female goddesses of creation. Annotation c.
