Having read the previous reviews I new that this book would probably be descent and worth the money. This is an amazingly thorough religious philosophy book. It is very deep and approaches the topic from a polytheistic perspective. One of the things I liked about this book was that it pointed me to an area of philosophy that I thought was, basically, dead but is actually very active. Virtue Ethics. (Obviously, I know that Aristotelian philosophy was still being taught in college philosophy intro courses but I wasn't aware that this branch of philosophy was still being explored academically.) So I have a new avenue of study. This book also covers comparative theology between monotheism and and polytheism and why polytheism is actually a better fit for the world we have than monotheism. I have felt that there was something wrong with the approach that certain reconstructionist pagan religions have taken but had not been able to adequately express. This book helped me to be able to express the problem and identify what should be done to fix this issue. Whether you are new to polytheism or have been involved in it for a while, this book is well worth studying. To be clear, this is not a fluffy, new age book. This book is well grounded in history, and philosophy.
