Popol Vuh

Translated by Lewis Spence

Includes three bonus chapters not found in the original on Mythology and Religion of Ancient Mexico.

When the Spanish invaded Central America in the 16th and 17th centuries they destroyed the holy books of the Mayans in an effort to convert them to Christianity. Few texts survived, yet The Popol Vuh, the creation story of the Mayan culture, did. This is the first English rendering of that text. Tells the story of a great flood, gods who created mankind, and other parallels to stories from around the world. Their deities are fully explained and compared to those from Greece, Rome and Egypt.

The Doctrine of Sin in the Babylonian Religion

Categories: Ancient Religions / Origins, Catalog, Jason's Bookshelf|Tags: |

Doctrine of Sin

Author: Julian Morgenstern

Most believe that sin first arose with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. This means it is not of Christian origin. Christianity was not around for another two thousand years or more to include it in its belief structure. The first page of this book clarifies that sin, in its original form, was anything done to anger the gods (plural). The word for God in the Old Testament is elohim – a plural word.

This book is a vital source for early religious truths. Offers an outstanding rundown on the early gods, who they were and what they stood for. Contains surprising information on our origins, the source of evil, the gods, and mankind’s interactions with them.

This book provides a complete historical overview of the Mother Goddess and her influence.
