The Gods Aren't Angry.
Where did the first caveman or cave-woman get the idea that somebody, somewhere existed who needed to be worshiped, appeased, and followed? And how did the idea evolve that if you didn't say, do, or offer the right things this being would be upset, agitated, or even angry with you? Where did religion come from?
Weaving together
anthropology, history, and theology, Bell explores the evolution of
religion, shedding fresh light on Jesus' death and what it means in the
postmodern era.
