Dieux: Histoire du sacré retrace la grande aventure religieuse de l'humanité, de la préhistoire jusqu'à nos jours. Depuis les esprits et les ancêtres du monde paléolithique jusqu'aux dieux de la Mésopotamie, de l'Égypte, de la Grèce, de l'Inde, de la Chine, de l'Afrique et de l'Amérique précolombienne; depuis l'émergence du Dieu unique en Israël jusqu'au christianisme et à l'islam; depuis les temples anciens jusqu'aux nouvelles formes de sacralité propres à la modernité.
À travers une approche historique et anthropologique, dans un style clair, vivant et rigoureux, ce livre explore la manière dont les différentes cultures ont compris le divin, comment elles l'ont représenté, comment elles l'ont lié au pouvoir, au corps, à la mort et à l'ordre du monde, et comment cette expérience a façonné l'histoire de la civilisation.
Ce n'est pas un livre de défense ni d'attaque. C'est un livre de compréhension. Car étudier l'histoire du sacré, c'est aussi étudier les questions les plus profondes de l'être humain: la peur, l'espérance, la justice, la souffrance, la mort et le besoin de sens.
L'histoire des dieux est aussi l'histoire de l'humanité face au mystère.
