Description:
Here is the most extensive historical atlas of religion ever published. Sixty five maps, including material never before mapped, portray practically everything which conceivably lends itself to cartographic interpretation. Maps illustrate the origins and distribution of religions, the movement of religions, and the locations of sacred cities, sites, and temples. Also highlighting the material are numerous photographs and drawings.
