Creative Mythology: The Masks of God

The Masks of God is the summation of Joseph Campbell’s lifelong study of the origins and function of myth.

In volume 4 of the series, Creative Mythology, Campbell examines the entire inner story of modern culture, spanning its philosophic, spiritual and cultural history since the Dark Ages and investigating modern man’s unique position as the creator of his own mythology. Creative Mythology deepens our understanding of the post-medieval culture we have inherited. The Masks of God traces mankind’s history as a search for meaning through the ideas, themes and quests of culture and religion.
