The Origins of Indo-European Religion

by Alexander Jacob

Book Description

This brief survey of the origins of indo-European religion based on the author´s Introduction to his recent book ``Atman`` (Georg Olms Verlag, Hildesheim, 2005) Studies the first formulation of the cosmocentric religion of the ancient Indo-Europeans as revealed by the archaeological and literary evidence. It investigates the identity of the original races that constituted the Indo-European family as well as the location of the original homeland of the Indo-Europeans and Aryans, and offers an outline of the cosmological framework of the original religions.
In his Epilogue to the work the author discusses the crucial differences between the polytheistic religions of the Indo-Europeans and the monotheism of the religions deriving from Judaism.

In this slender volume, which condenses a much larger book Atman (2005), Alexander Jacob advances a revolutionary thesis: Indo-European religion emerged in the Near East from the same fundamental race and civilization that gave rise to the Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Indus Valley civilizations. Most historians claim that Indo-European religion was carried into the Near East and India by a distinct ethnic group, the Aryans, migrating from somewhere North of the Black Sea.
