The source records for Plants, Stars, and the Origins of Religion cover the origins of religion in the Middle East and Europe from prehistoric times to the fall of the Roman Empire. One of these records was the Phaistos Disk from Crete, which may have been intended to serve as a solar calendar, and a decipherment of the Phaistos Disk is included within this book. Author Mary Kilbourne Matossian has given particular attention to evidence for the possible role of psychoactive plants by people in prehistoric and ancient times. At the same time, Plants, Stars, and the Origins of Religion explores some prehistoric and ancient beliefs about stars.

Many of our questions about religion, says the internationally renowned anthropologist Pascal Boyer, were once mysteries, but they no longer are: we are beginning to know how to answer questions such as "Why do people have religion?" and "Why is religion the way it is?" Using findings from anthropology, cognitive science, linguistics, and evolutionary biology, Boyer shows how one of the most fascinating aspects of human consciousness is increasingly admissible to coherent, naturalistic explanation. And Man Creates God tells readers, for the first time, what religious feeling is really about, what it consists of, and how it originates. It is a beautifully written, very accessible book by an anthropologist who is highly respected on both sides of the Atlantic. As a scientific explanation for religious feeling, it is sure to arouse controversy.

"The universe was created with purpose and reason; and modern science with all of its experiments, exploration, and sophistication has ever proven otherwise. In fact, as author Dr. Danny Faulkner makes plain, advanced science argues more for a created cosmology than a big bang"--Cover page 4.

Download Origen and the Life of the Stars Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
From the days of antiquity to the time of the Middle Ages, intellectuals have widely assumed that stars were alive, a belief that gave the cosmos an important position not only in Greek religion, but also in discussions of human psychology and eschatology. In the third century AD, the Christian theologian Origen included such Hellenistic theories on the life and nature of the stars in his cosmology, a theory that would have important implications for early Christian theology. Moving through a wide range of Greek, Latin, and Oriental sources from antiquity to medieval times, this is the first thorough treatment of Origen's biblical theology. The second book in the new Oxford Early Christian Studies series, Origen and the Life of the Stars provides a new look at the roots of early Christian thought.
