It traces this evolution through the religious practices of various ancient civilizations. The author argues that as human consciousness evolved, the perception of the divine also evolved, requiring new modes of interaction between humans and their deities. The book examines the idea of a dying god, the notion of the early death of nature, and Greek apotheosis and oriental emanation, demonstrating how these concepts influenced the development of mediation.
