For those curious about religion's origins.

"Religion as We Know It" clarifies complex ideas.

You’ll understand how faith shapes your world today.

Discover how the concept of religion evolved from the birth of Christianity to today in Jack Miles' insightful book, "Religion as We Know It: An Origin Story."

How did our forebears begin to think about religion as a distinct domain, separate from other activities that were once inseparable from it? Starting at the birth of Christianity--a religion inextricably bound to Western thought--Jack Miles reveals how the West's "common sense" understanding of religion emerged and then changed as insular Europe discovered the rest of the world. In a moving postscript, he shows how this very story continues today in the hearts of individual religious or irreligious men and women.
