This work is a classic model of research in the history of religion. Religious ideas are represented here not only in chronological order, but also united by a single understanding of the diversity of the religious life of all cultures and continents. Eliade masterly owns the methods of comparative anthropology and demonstrates general trends in the development of religious ideas. "For the historian of religions, every manifestation of the sacred is significant: every ritual, every myth, every belief and every image of the deity reflect the experience of the sacred and therefore carry the concepts of being, meaning, truth.
The book covers the period from the magical worlds of the Stone Age to the religions of ancient civilizations and the religion of biblical revelation: "On the most archaic levels of culture, live, as befits a person, is in itself a religious action, because fooding, sexual relations and work have sacramental value.
