Reviews

An original and pioneering study of the manner in which conceptions of time have been personi_x001F_fed as popular deities in various temporal/cultural contexts within the evolution of Western civilization. . . . A well-craft_x001E_ed book on a central but neglected aspect of popular culture, Macey’s innovative study is highly recommended for all religious studies libraries.|Macey breaks new ground in tracing the connection between divine powers and time, applying his thesis to Christianity by arguing that the date of Christmas indicates a belief in Saturn as a cosmic power. . . . An important but idiosyncratic study, recommended for scholarly audiences.
