In his new book, acclaimed scholar Jack Miles poses a question: How did our forebears begin to think about religion as a distinct domain, separate from other activities that were once inseparable from it?

Starting at the birth of Christianity--a religion inextricably bound to Western thought--Miles reveals how we in the West have come to isolate religion as an object of study, and how drastically our perception has changed over time and across societies. Through the break between the Christian and Jewish communities, the fall of the Roman Empire, the rise of Islam, and the growth of Western empires, Miles reveals how Western religious thought has always been based on comparison of the known with the emergent unknown. Religion as We Know It challenges readers to unmoor themselves from traditional thinking and observe how the events of the still-unfolding past continue to shape how we think of religion today.

Good fit
Size: XX-Large, Color: Champagne
Fit was nice. Pants were a tad bit snug, but the elastic waistline made them doable. Jacket was a perfect fit, just wish I could have pick my waist size..

Color and fit
Love the suit style. But the color wasn't what I expected. Was to be beige but appear to be more on a light pink. Also the fit was on the small size due to my awkward body size. Seller went beyond to solve my issue by having suit replace with a different color and adjusted size to fit. No questions asked. I was very satisfied.

Great suit, I'm gonna order more!
Bought this suit for a funeral and felt really sheek and unique. The buckle on the wrist and the right side really adds an impeccable fit and makes a sharp statement for anyone slim or chub. Worth the try if even a one time buy!
