Author: Debray, Regis

Rgis Debray is a French philosophy professor. In this major new work he traces the genesis of God over time, His itinerary and the costs of His survival. Debray focuses his attention not just on what was written, but on how it was written: with what tools, on what surface, for what purpose and in what physical environment. In Debray's work, the histories of the Eternal and of the West illuminate each other in an effort to shed light on modern civilization itself. 400 pages; 50 b - w illustrations.
