And how does it do that? Simply: quoting their orthodox and authoritative sources. Simply reading the book makes you perceive three things: first, that these ancient sages really grasped something; second, that this "something" is the same for all of them; and third, that no modern (post-XV century) religion did so. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
