I'm still re-reading this one, with other material around it, and this book is making me reach into other books to verify and supplement what is here. This is a dense seditious mofo of a book. Elements of it have ratified thoughts I have had during my years of research of the religions of the ancient world and the big picture it conveys is hard to refute and tables-turning. I've still weeks ahead in this tome, and in time will read its sequel. This is Alzheimer's prevention at its best (for me and my interests).
