I just finished this book about a week ago, and it immediately shot up to the top of my favorites list. Granted, I did not read this book in a vacuum. Many of the topics (and indeed some of the authors and even biblical scholars that he cites) are ones that I have been studying for a couple years now. Some in a more broad, general sense, and some more in depth. This book really brought it all together in one place. Here is the review I left on Audible: "I was really impressed with this book. Very well-researched and well-written. It covers a variety of overlapping topics, such as human history and evolution, ancient tribal life, psychology, sociology, the social cohesion provided by religion, religion and warfare, culture, and the history and overview of various religions. Very very good. If any of these topics interest you, I highly recommend it."
