When you think of astrology, you may think of the horoscope section
in your local paper, or of Nancy Reagan's consultations with an
astrologer in the White House in the 1980s. Yet almost every
religion uses some form of astrology: some way of thinking about
the sun, moon, stars, and planets and how they hold significance
for human lives on earth. Astrology and Cosmology in the World's
Religions offers an accessible overview of the astrologies of the
world's religions, placing them into context within theories of how
the wider universe came into being and operates. Campion traces
beliefs about the heavens among peoples ranging from ancient Egypt
and China, to Australia and Polynesia, and India and the Islamic
world. Addressing each religion in a separate chapter, Campion
outlines how, by observing the celestial bodies, people have
engaged with the divine, managed the future, and attempted to
understand events here on earth. This fascinating text offers a
unique way to delve into comparative religions and will also appeal
to those intrigued by New Age topics.
