An Inquiry into the Origin of Religions, by Grant Allen. Allen starts at the very beginning of human Godly expression and traces the development of the idea throughout history. He used information from the most renowned experts on religion and put their overall theories together in one book. His unique view is one that defines religion as an expression of God through ritual and outward visible aspects, while keeping ethical beliefs and mythological aspects completely separate. No one has ever approached this with such clarity in any book. It is therefore an indispensable resource for those determined to research this area seriously.
