This book provides a unique overview of current debates concerning religion and its historical variations. It is thus an ideal location for exploring theories about the role of religion in early settled life. A nine-thousand-year old town in central Turkey, Çatalhöyük was first excavated in the 1960s and has since become integral to understanding the symbolic and ritual worlds of the early farmers and village-dwellers in the Middle East. Involving an eminent group of natural scientists, archaeologists, anthropologists, philosophers, and theologians, this volume examines Çatalhöyük as a case study. This book presents an interdisciplinary study of the role of spirituality and religious ritual in the emergence of complex societies.

A list of all series by Amo Jones, including Aphotic Waters Duet. You will be confused and look for logic between the covers, but don’t, because you won’t find it. I do not want to ruin your experience, so I will just tell you that dark can be done badly, or dark can be done so well that it will leave your rotten little heart happy. There are trigger warnings, many triggers, but for me, I wished I didn’t read them, because I was anticipating what would come next. WTF do I say about that ending, except holy crap, you are good Amo Jones, you are good.
