Back in print after more than four decades, The Origin and Growth of Religion is a much-sought-after volume, as it provides a glimpse into philosophy of religion in the early twentieth century. Wilhelm Schmidt, based on his research and observations as an anthropologist, contends the opposite of the evolutionary theory of religion - which is, that all religions of the world originate in monotheistic worship.
