In volume 2 of this monumental work, Mircea Eliade continues his magisterial progress through the history of religious ideas. The religions of ancient China, Brahmanism and Hinduism, Buddha and his contemporaries, Roman religion, Celtic and German religions, Judaism, the Hellenistic period, the Iranian syntheses, and the birth of Christianity—all are encompassed in this volume.
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.

"Sur un fil, entre deux immeubles, de l'aile d'un avion au toit d'une voiture ou d'un métro, Jean-Paul Belmondo a pris tous les risques. Des années plus tard, il en rit encore, l'oeil brillant. Ces éclats de rire tonitruants, il s'en est toujours servi pour garder ses secrets : sa vie, ses rencontres, sa famille, ses amours, ses joies immenses et ses peines les plus grandes. Jean-Paul Belmondo a aujourd'hui décidé de tout raconter. Son enfance marquée par la guerre, sa mère courage, l'atelier de son père, et ses premières amours. Il nous entraîne dans les pas dilettantes de son service militaire en Algérie. Il nous invite aux comptoirs de la rue Saint-Benoît, pour y faire les quatre cents coups avec ses copains de toujours, Jean-Pierre Marielle, Jean Rochefort, Michel Beaune, Pierre Vernier, Charles Gérard. Jean-Paul Belmondo se raconte ici pour la première fois, nous livrant la certitude que, oui, mille vies valent mieux qu'une."--Page 4 of cover
