All about Adam & Eve

All About Adam & Eve: How We Came to Believe in Gods, Demons, Miracles, & Magical Rites explores beliefs in an informative and entertaining style. Robert Gillooly maintains that virtually all current beliefs are recognizable in the religions of ancient races. He explains the origins of gods around the world and traces their beginnings and evolution from primitive tribes to sophisticated society, while answering a host of questions about religious beliefs, including: Do humans talk with gods? Many prophets have claimed to do so. All About Adam & Eve gives readers enough background to judge for themselves. Are there living man-gods, such as the Dalai Lama, Gautama Buddha, and Jesus Christ? All About Adam & Eve explains the basis for such beliefs in various cultural settings. Can evil spirits inhabit the bodies of men and women? All About Adam & Eve describes the reasons for such belief and the exorcisms that are still used to dismiss "evil demons."
