We cannot escape our dependence on myths. The basic structures of understanding provided by myths tell us how we perceive and live the world. They are also important for understanding the 'I' that perceives and lives the world. Our understanding and fears of absolute reality are most directly expressed in creation myths that tell the story of the emergence of humanity and the universe.
Bringing together different cultures from many different geographies, Creation Myths has been carefully prepared for anyone curious about these special narratives in which we establish the relationship between the essence of existence and the sacred starting point. In this selection, Barbara Sproul offers a comprehensive exploration of mythology that shows how diverse human culture is.
