About The Reality of Myth:

It is said that Westerners are deaf to myth and dumb in the presence of ritual. In this book Martin brings a new understanding. His scholarship is woven around the ‘creation’ myths in American Indian culture, the Bible and aboriginal Dreaming. Here is a seminal work that will open our eyes to the essential role of myth in culture and religion; its unsuspected role in science; and its impetus to creativity.
