About the Book

Many people believe that religion began when God revealed himself to human beings at the time of their creation several thousand years ago. However, we now know that in fact the earth is 4.5 billion years old. With this knowledge in mind, how did religion begin and develop? In particular, how did Judaism and Christianity begin and evolve? This book explores the answers to these questions, particularly syncretism of religion, i.e. the merging and blending of religious ideas. Topics include paleolithic and neolithic religion, influences of Mesopotamia, Egypt and Persia on Judeo-Christian beliefs, "mystery religions", human sacrifice in Canaan, the axial age, and the origins of Yahweh.

Dr. Vander Maas is a passionate educator and a lifelong learner. His interests include a broad spectrum of topics, including spirituality, religion, theology, science, politics, and history. Through his writings, Dr. Vander Maas is committed to the integration of many disciplines. The goal of his book series "An Integral, Evolutionary World View" is to present the "big picture" of the universe and mankind and to promote spiritual development. He believes we grow spiritually through education and is passionate about the need for ongoing education throughout life. "Mankind developed very little in hundreds of thousands of years until the invention of writing, which revolutionized the world. This invention now enabled knowledge to accumulate. The amount of progress mankind has made in the span of just 5,000 years since this invention has been incredible!" Many futurists, including Vander Maas, "believe we are at the cusp of a spiritual revolution due in large part to the advent of the internet, which provides easy access to vast amounts of information. Never before have we had the ability to access and integrate so much knowledge from various cultures and disciplines, allowing mankind to more quickly evolve and bringing us closer to Jesus' goal of the 'kingdom of God'. Vander Maas is currently writing a series of books subtitled "An Integral, Evolutionary Worldview". The books are designed for both individuals and small group studies.
