RELIGION IN HUMAN EVOLUTION - ROBERT N BELLAH K...

A New York Times Book Review Editors¿ Choice An ABC Australia Best Book on Religion and Ethics
of the Year Distinguished Book Award  Sociology of Religion Section of the American
Sociological Association Religion in Human Evolution is a work of extraordinary ambition¿a
wide-ranging  nuanced probing of our biological past to discover the kinds of lives that human
beings have most often imagined were worth living. It offers what is frequently seen as a
forbidden theory of the origin of religion that goes deep into evolution  especially but not
exclusively cultural evolution. ¿Of Bellah¿s brilliance there can be no doubt. The sheer amount
this man knows about religion is otherworldly¿Bellah stands in the tradition of such stalwarts
of the sociological imagination as Emile Durkheim and Max Weber. Only one word is appropriate
to characterize this book¿s subject as well as its substance  and that is `magisterial.¿¿ ¿Alan
Wolfe  New York Times Book Review ¿Religion in Human Evolution is a magnum opus founded on
careful research and immersed in the `reflective judgment¿ of one of our best thinkers and
writers.¿ ¿Richard L. Wood  Commonweal
