The Idea of God in Early Religions - Tarl Warwick - Bog

F.B Jevons' work here is relatively well known; although its content is considered somewhat dated in modernity it retains an academic rigor that many contemporary works lacked. We might view it as part linguistic anthropology, and part religious history, in form and function.The basic development (or juxtaposition of) personal daemon and god, the development of polytheism, and other topics are explored in some degree of depth here with an eye to cultural evolution and the use of human language.
