Worthwhile

While this book is unconventional in presentation, the scholarship and intellectual underpinnings are remarkable. For any layperson interested in "The White Goddess" or "The Golden Bough", Waugh's poking and prodding of the old testament will provide opportunities to re-examine the foundations of western thought.
