The history of monotheism and the historical authenticity of key events in the founding of major religions are debated in this book. The author also challenges the established view that the "higher revealed" religions evolved from primitive polytheism.

Written during the golden age of Chinese philosophy, and composed partly in prose and partly in verse, the Tao Te Ching is surely the most terse and economical of the world's great religious texts.
