Description

In volume III, Mircea Eliade continues the work started in the previous volume and traces the history of the Christian church, from Saint Augustine to the Age of the Enlightenment. He also studies Mohammed and the rise of Islam, and dedicates extensive chapters to Jewish, Christian and Muslim mystics. He also examines esotericism through to the period of the Reformation. The scholarly approach and intellectual might of Mircea Eliade offer the reader a vision of religion which brings to light his take on both “the fundamental unity of religious phenomena and the inexhaustible novelty of their expression”.
