The second volume of the extraordinary history that "should be an essential resource for generations to come" (Parabola).

The religions of ancient China, Brahmanism and Hinduism, Buddha and his contemporaries, Roman religion, Celtic and German religions, Judaism, the Hellenistic period, the Iranian syntheses, and the birth of Christianity -- all are encompassed in this volume.
