The book tells about the most famous of the gods worshiped in the past, and partly worshiped now by different tribes and peoples. Getting to know these gods helps us better understand the spiritual world not only of people of bygone ages, but also of ourselves. In addition to the hundred greats, the book mentions many other gods, as well as a variety of additional information from the history of culture, which allows you to compare past ideas with modern ones. As we look closely into the past, we begin to understand the present better.
