About the book

Living with the Gods by Neil MacGregor is a history book. The panoramic exploration of how belief shapes us, from the celebrated author of A History of the World in 100 Objects No society on Earth lacks beliefs about where it has come from, its place in the world, and the connection of individuals to the eternal.

Until recently, it was widely assumed that religion was on the wane almost everywhere: now, far from becoming marginalised, the relationship between faith and society has moved to the centre of politics and global conversation. Neil Mac Gregor's new book traces how different societies have understood and articulated their place in the cosmic scheme. He examines mankind's beliefs not from the perspective of institutional religions, but by focusing on the shared narratives that have shaped societies - and on what happens when different narratives run up against each other.
