"This book is a revised and updated edition of a popular work, which looks at the world's religious in terms of world history, and as constantly developing systems of belief.
Part I traces the development of religions, as they evolved from the traditions of the ancient world.  Part II examines the changes to faiths and cultures following the Renaissance and the voyages of conquest and discover, and asks how, why, and with what effect religions have been refashioned over the ages up to today."
