"This book examines the history of the world's religions, tracing them through four historical epochs in order to show how the temporal interacts with the timeless." "Presented in detail are the major figures Krishna, Buddha, Abraham, Jesus, Muhammad, Confucius, and Lao Tzu. Coverage of other figures mythical and historical - from Gilgamesh and Ishtar to Luther and Calvin - reveals how they too had an impact on history."--BOOK JACKET.
