The third book in Morris Berman's much acclaimed trilogy on the evolution of human consciousness, Wandering God continues his earlier work which garnered such praise as solid lessons in the history of ideas (KIRKUS Reviews), filled with piquant details (Common Boundary), an informative synthesis and a remarkably friendly, good-natured jeremiad (The Village Voice). Here, in a remarkable discussion of our hunter-gatherer ancestry and the paradoxical mode of perception that it involved, Berman shows how a sense of alertness, or secular/sacred immediacy, subsequently got buried by the rise of sedentary civilization, religion, and vertical power relationships.
