Lo ha fatto in modo diretto nella sua duplice, forte tensione interna ebraico-cristiana e, in modo indiretto, attraverso gli influssi che ha esercitato sull'islam e sulla stessa cultura laica.

Max Weber combined his interests in sociology, political economy and history to give perspective to his analysis. Concentrating principally on the experience of the West, he returned to the time when religion, its concepts and practice, dominated society.

Each religion has a different history, a different prophet, and a different set of rituals and traditions, all coming to the same conclusion. That conclusion is this: To honor that which is divine is to honor one’s self and to honor one’s fellow man. A good, righteous, virtuous life looks the same in every religion: It is to live with truth, kindness, respect, and forgiveness, for one’s self and for others.

Pagans explores the rise of Christianity from a surprising and unique viewpoint: that of the people who witnessed their ways of life destroyed by what seemed then a powerful religious cult. These "pagans" were actually pious Greeks, Romans, Syrians, and Gauls, who observed the traditions of their ancestors. To these devout polytheists, Christians who worshiped only one deity were immoral atheists who believed that a splash of water on the deathbed could erase a lifetime of sin.

Lukas war ein Arzt, ein Heiler, ein Schüler des Paulus, der durch die gesamte griechische Welt gereist ist. Lukas will die Geschichte von Jesus der ganzen Welt öffnen. Er ist ein Geschichtenerzähler, der das Leben Jesu auf einer sehr persönlichen Ebene erzählt. Dazu benutzt er einen besonderen Stil, indem er sie in Form eines Briefes niederschreibt.

How did human societies scale up from small, tight-knit groups of hunter-gatherers to the large, anonymous, cooperative societies of today - even though anonymity is the enemy of cooperation? How did organized religions with "Big Gods" - the great monotheistic and polytheistic faiths - spread to colonize most minds in the world? In Big Gods, Ara Norenzayan makes the surprising and provocative argument that these fundamental puzzles about the origins of civilization are one and the same, and answer each other.
