Description

Explore the deep connection between human belief and the recording of the past with The Origins of History by Herbert Butterfield. This Routledge Library Edition provides a detailed look at how different civilizations understood their history and its relationship to religion. Originally published in 1981, this work represents the culmination of twenty years of research and thought by the author. Readers will travel through time to examine the historical perspectives of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, alongside the political perceptiveness of the Hittites. The text offers a deep study of the Jewish sense of God in history through promise and fulfillment, as well as the classical achievements in scientific history. It also explores the distinct Chinese tradition of historical writing. This book is an essential resource for those studying how early Christians related to their history and how the concept of the past has evolved across global cultures.
