Publisher's Synopsis
The Making of Religion is a book written by Scottish writer and anthropologist Andrew Lang in 1898. The book explores the origins and evolution of religion across different cultures and civilizations around the world. Lang argues that religion is a product of human imagination and creativity, shaped by social, cultural, and historical factors. He examines various theories and perspectives on the nature of religion, including the evolutionary and psychological approaches. The book also delves into the role of myths, rituals, and symbols in shaping religious beliefs and practices. Lang draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, folklore, and ethnographic accounts, to provide a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the making of religion.
