A comprehensive, comparative history of world religions, mythologies, and superstitions, exploring the origins of beliefs and customs through folklore, sacred texts, and traditions, often framing them as corrupted versions of a single, original truth, with contributors like Frank Stockton Dobbins and Samuel Wells Wells.
The book details strange beliefs, philosophies, and rituals from ancient and modern cultures, using comparative analysis to trace them back to common sources, often linking them to biblical narratives.
Explores the origins of nature worship, idol worship, and creation/flood myths, using comparative folklore to argue for a common cultural root, often with a Christian perspective.
