Excerpt from The Progress of the Intellect, Vol. 2 of 2: As Exemplified in the Religious Development of the Greeks and Hebrews
Luther said it was the desire to be as gods which drove man from Paradise; it were more true to say that Paradise was lost when the desire was conceived. 9 Hence the means of reconciliation with the gods were called xalaeaug.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book illuminates the development of religious ideas centered around the concept of divine mediation. The author traces the evolution of this concept from its earliest forms in ancient pantheism, through the rise of monotheistic traditions like Zoroastrianism, to the Hebrew concept of a messiah. By exploring the commonalities and differences among these diverse religious systems, this book highlights the fundamental human need to bridge the perceived gap between the divine and the mortal. The author argues that this concept of mediation has profoundly influenced religious thought and practice throughout history, offering a framework for understanding the complexities of the human relationship with the divine.
