A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice An ABC Australia Best
Book on Religion and Ethics of the Year Distinguished Book Award,
Sociology of Religion Section of the American Sociological
Association Religion in Human Evolution is a work of extraordinary
ambition-a wide-ranging, nuanced probing of our biological past to
discover the kinds of lives that human beings have most often
imagined were worth living. It offers what is frequently seen as a
forbidden theory of the origin of religion that goes deep into
evolution, especially but not exclusively cultural evolution. "Of
Bellah's brilliance there can be no doubt. The sheer amount this
man knows about religion is otherworldly...Bellah stands in the
tradition of such stalwarts of the sociological imagination as
Emile Durkheim and Max Weber. Only one word is appropriate to
characterize this book's subject as well as its substance, and that
is 'magisterial.'" -Alan Wolfe, New York Times Book Review
"Religion in Human Evolution is a magnum opus founded on careful
research and immersed in the 'reflective judgment' of one of our
best thinkers and writers." -Richard L. Wood, Commonweal
