A History of Religious Ideas, Volume 2: From Gautama Buddha to the Triumph of Christianity

The second volume of the extraordinary history that “should be an essential resource for generations to come” (Parabola). In volume two of this monumental work, Mircea Eliade continues his magisterial progress through the history of religious ideas. The religions of ancient China, Brahmanism and Hinduism, Buddha and his contemporaries, Roman religion, Celtic and German religions, Judaism, the Hellenistic period, the Iranian syntheses, and the birth of Christianity—all are encompassed in this volume. Praise for A History of Religious Ideas “Everyone who cares about the human adventure will find new information and new angles of vision here.”—The New York Times “The culmination of years of impassioned scholarship…rendered with the talent of one who is not only an academic writer but a novelist of considerable distinction.”—Times Higher Education Supplement
