Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of mediation as a device to bridge the gap between humanity and divinity. 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. This book offers a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the role of mediation in ancient religious practices, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of religion.
