This volume completes the immensely learned three-volume "A History
of Religious Ideas." Eliade examines the movement of Jewish thought
out of ancient Eurasia, the Christian transformation of the
Mediterranean area and Europe, and the rise and diffusion of Islam
from approximately the sixth through the seventeenth centuries.
Eliade's vast knowledge of past and present scholarship provides a
synthesis that is unparalleled. In addition to reviewing recent
interpretations of the individual traditions, he explores the
interactions of the three religions and shows their continuing
mutual influence to be subtle but unmistakable.
As in his previous work, Eliade pays particular attention to
heresies, folk beliefs, and cults of secret wisdom, such as alchemy
and sorcery, and continues the discussion, begun in earlier
volumes, of pre-Christian shamanistic practices in northern Europe
and the syncretistic tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. These
subcultures, he maintains, are as important as the better-known
orthodoxies to a full understanding of Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam.
