Eliza Burt Gamble's 'The God-Idea of the Ancients; Or, Sex in Religion' is a pioneering work that delves into the intricate relationship between spirituality and sexuality in ancient civilizations. Through meticulous research and a thought-provoking analysis, Gamble explores how the concept of God was intertwined with human sexuality, challenging conventional beliefs about religion and its origins. Her literary style combines academic rigor with a captivating narrative, making this book a compelling read for those interested in the intersection of faith and desire in historical contexts. Eliza Burt Gamble, a respected scholar of anthropology and religion, was motivated to write this book by her fascination with the universal themes of sex and religion across cultures. Her expertise in these subjects shines through in 'The God-Idea of the Ancients', as she offers a fresh perspective on ancient myths, rituals, and beliefs. Gamble's dedication to uncovering the hidden narratives of history makes this book a valuable contribution to the field of religious studies. I highly recommend 'The God-Idea of the Ancients; Or, Sex in Religion' to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics between spirituality and sexuality in ancient societies. Gamble's insightful analysis and thorough research make this book a must-read for academics, students, and anyone intrigued by the mysteries of human belief systems.

Through a study of the primitive god-idea as manifested in monumental records in various parts of the world; through scientific investigation into the early religious conceptions of mankind as expressed by symbols which appear in the architecture and decorations of sacred edifices and shrines; by means of a careful examination of ancient holy objects and places still extant in every quarter of the globe, and through the study of antique art, it is not unlikely that a line of investigation has been marked out whereby a tolerably correct knowledge of the processes involved in our present religious systems may be obtained. The numberless figures and sacred emblems which appear carved in imperishable stone in the earliest cave temples; the huge towers, monoliths, and rocking stones found in nearly every country of the globe, and which are known to be closely connected with primitive belief and worship, and the records found on tablets which are being unearthed in various parts of the world, are, with the unravelling of extinct tongues, proving an almost inexhaustible source for obtaining information bearing upon the early history of the human race, and, together, furnish indisputable evidence of the origin, development, and unity of religious faiths.

In this tour of the history of arguments for and against the existence of God, Nathan Schneider embarks on a remarkable intellectual, historical, and theological journey through the centuries of believers and unbelieversÑfrom ancient Greeks, to medieval Arabs, to todayÕs most eminent philosophers and the New Atheists. Framed by an account of SchneiderÕs own unique journey, God in Proof illuminates the great minds who wrestled with one of historyÕs biggest questions together with their arguments, bringing them to life in their time, and our own. SchneiderÕs sure-handed portrayal of the characters and ideas involved in the search for proof challenges how we normally think about doubt and faith while showing that, in their quest for certainty and the proofs to declare it, thinkers on either side of the God divide are often closer to one another than they would like to think.

"Mrs. Gamble has brought together a great amount of material, drawn chiefly from Furlong's 'Rivers of Life,' Faber's 'Pagan Idolatry,' Inman's 'Ancient Faiths,' 'Isis Unveiled,' etc. For those acquainted with these works, little comment is needed; to others it may be stated that the work before us deals largely with the worship of trees, fire, water, and the phallus. The author's views regarding the 'Evolution of Woman' are fundamental to this work. Just as Mrs. Gamble believes that woman in primitive times was socially and intellectually man's superior, so she also believes that in early religion the female idea in deity was supreme. It was only when, in his selfish might, man encroached socially upon woman's domain, that the old and beautiful religion of adoration of the universal gave way." -The Dial "A valuable and exceptionally interesting book....Glorification of woman is the keynote of this new book. Never has woman been set on a loftier pedestal than she is set here, and never have more convincing proofs of her inherent nobility and title to rulership been brought forward than in this book. The prime object of it is to show how potent woman was in primeval times and how her present degenerate state is the result of male aggressiveness....In one sense this is a controversial book, and hence is likely to arouse considerable discussion." -Literary News "Mrs. Gamble's purpose has been not only to furnish a brief outline of religious growth, but to show the effect which each of the two forces, female and male, has had upon the development of our present God idea" -The Nation "Will certainly prove interesting to the student of ancient religions." -The New Cycle "The book is really a very interesting one, written in the main, very clearly and dispassionately and with a citation of authorities that shows wide reading and a good grasp upon the central purpose of the author's thesis. Whatever one may think of the conclusions, any thoughtful person may read the chapters with curiosity and profit."-Bookman Contents PREFACE. THE GOD-IDEA OF THE ANCIENTS. INTRODUCTION. CHAPTER I.
