Description: Why is religion still around in the twenty-first century?
Why do so many still believe?
How do various traditions still shape the way people experience everything from sexuality to politics, whether they are religious or not?

These questions took on a new urgency for Pagels when dealing with unimaginable loss—of the death of her young child, followed a year later by the shocking loss of her husband.

Drawing upon the perspectives of neurologists, anthropologists and historians, as well as her own research, Pagels opens unexpected ways of understanding persistent religious aspects of our culture.
