A Million and One Gods by Page Dubois
As A Million and One Gods shows, polytheism is considered a scandalous presence in societies oriented to Jewish, Christian, and Muslim beliefs. Yet it persists, even in the West, perhaps because polytheism corresponds to unconscious needs and deeply held values of tolerance, diversity, and equality that are central to civilized societies.
In this book, Page duBois touches on topics that are sure to bring surprising jolts of recognition and heated debate on some of our most blindly accepted, conventional categories-- Thomas Habinek, University of Southern California
