Where have all the Gods gone? Find em' here!

Whether you are Catholic, Jewish, Muslim or Aetheist, this book has something for you. "A comprehensive Dictionary of the Gods" briefly and poignantly presents a brief look at hundreds of gods and demi-gods from the various ages and regions of the world. Best yet, the gods, and all the eccentricities are presented with easy-going humor that makes the books easy reading and a useful reference. The only criticism that I can offer is that I would have liked to see a detailed bibliography of Ms. Baumgartner's source materials. This would make it a more useful rference tool for those doing research on particular gods or legends. This book was originally published in 1984 as "Ye Gods."
