J.F. Bierlein

As a religious scholar and a mythical lifetime student, The Book of ages has a wonderful job of tracking the parallel themes of the world's myths and then gathering rich information important to understanding the importance . He not only details the famous Greek and Roman gods, but also reviews the less known gods of Northern Europe, India, China, Native American and Oceania and details the attractive similarities between the gods It is. Bierlein creates a story that binds spells through myths, myths of floods, the story of love, moral myths, and the creation of heroes and anarchic myths. I talked about four stories with the whole chapter, of which two are the stories of two brothers. One is the myth of the Native Americans' black footed country, and the other is the story of ancient Egyptians. After showing an example, Billing finally examined ways to explain parallel myths, contemporary beliefs, and supernatural justifications. This impressive work not only attracts mythical newbies, but also attracts readers familiar with Joseph Campbell.

In many respects, Joseph Campbell 's successor, Bierlein (The Book of Ages, Ballantine, 1992), introduces and compares many cultural myths and shows how to explain them to us today I suggest.

In this revolutionary myth, all the creation records, the myth of the flood, the love story of the myth, the moral myth, the legend of the underworld, and the vision of the catastrophe are all rewritten. As an American college religious scholar, Billing reminds the reader about their true meaning throughout history, whether sacred or secular or persuasive myths themselves. Especially recommended for undergraduates and public libraries

Even Japan 's Yaku is deeply rooted in ancient religious traditions. The famous Kakuzu tattoo often draws images of ancient Shintoism and Buddhism. Christopher Altman, researcher at JF Berlin University in Tokyo, wrote that the launch of a new pledge to the yakuza was "normally done at a shrine, hence religiously designated." Partly, citizens are completely free, and they are addicted to it. I talked to Dr. Lee Roser, a religious professor at Temple University in Japan on this strange dichotomy.
