Sources of Religious Worship cover

Different forms of religious worship and ritual are present throughout the development of human beings, from early stone-age ritual, nature religion and ancestor worship, to faiths from which Christianity and the Eucharist emerge.

In this book, Bastiaan Baan traces the origins and metamorphosis of human religion in historical, theological and humanistic terms, examining its significance for human life on earth and in the spiritual world.

'This interesting book, which contains copies of many beautiful pictures, helped me to understand more about the importance of ritual and how I can connect to ritual acts.'
-- Marjan Sikkel, Camphill Correspondence

'This is a marvellous account by Christian Community priest, Bastiaan Baan, of religious ritual… It is very clear and enjoyable to read'
