Discover a sweeping view of humankind’s shared roots and ancient ideas that shaped civilizations.
This edition of Humanity: Its Fountain and Stream surveys early history, language, writing, and culture across continents. It presents the case for a common origin of the human family and traces how ideas about creation, the Flood, and life beyond the grave circulated long before modern scholars, with careful selections from ancient authorities to illuminate these timeless questions.
