Summary; Based on ten years of research into the many similarities between faiths widely separated by time and distance. this is a comparative study of pagan religions since the dawn of time. and their relationship to Christianity. From the primitive mother-goddess of the Ice Age hunters and a myriad of other deities. the author traces the threads by which they are inextricably linked to modern Christianity.
