  “This is an excellent resource on the Axial Age. Highly recommended for the insight it can give us to the nature of religion, its role in society, and importance in public policy.”

  “I am reading this book for the second time. It is brilliantly detailed and wonderfully explores the history of the world's major mythologies.”
