Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the concept of man-gods, this work delves into early religious history, highlighting how ancient cultures perceived divine figures as extensions of humanity rather than separate entities. It argues that for early humans, the idea of a god incarnating in human form was not shocking, as they believed in their own supernatural abilities. The text examines the blurred lines between gods and men, emphasizing the shared characteristics that defined their understanding of the divine in a time before a distinct separation was established.
