God Myths of the Male Divine

Gods is a "biography" of the god archetype from Palaeolithic times to the present.

The authors retell myths from North and South America, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, tracing evolution of the male god from servant of the goddess to seed-bearer, to war god, to the patriarchal god of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.Leeming, David is the author of 'God Myths of the Male Divine' with ISBN 9780195093063 and ISBN 0195093062.
