Retaliation of the Cursed: A Historical Investigation of The Origins of Worship, World Religion, Mythology, Paganism, Astrology and Atheism, and Their Contributions Leading to Modern Hinduism is a sweeping look at the ancient cross-cultural flows that worked to shape the long legacies of the major religions, right up to our contemporary moment. Primarily grounded in examining the Sumerian, Akkadian, Greek, Egyptian, Pagan, and biblical origins of various religious figures, practices, and beliefs, but drawing on a wide array of mythologies that stretch beyond this, this book is stunning in its scope and impressive in the rich, fascinating detail in which it presents its findings.

Ultimately, author Stephen Martin makes a compelling case for the shared origins of the world’s great religions, arguing that by reincorporating many previously excommunicated spiritualities and atheisms, Hinduism manifested itself as the complex, multi-faceted cosmology it is today.

As well-suited to an amateur audience as it would to a professional theologian, this book is sure to make an excellent read for anyone interested in studies of comparative religion or ancient civilizations—or those simply interested in better understanding the roots of the religious beliefs and spiritual practices of themselves and those around them.

    Retaliation of the Cursed by Stephen Arthur Martin Jr. is an exhaustive analytical book on the origins of world’s religions. But its main essence is to draw comparison of many cultures and religions of the world with Hinduism.

    Across the world there are scores of scholars and theologists and religious enthusiasts that are still searching answers to the history of Hinduism. This book is one such attempt that tries to seek answers by studying other primitive forms and figures of other religions. All the assumptions, theories, or concepts are well supported by vivid illustrations, copious footnotes, and bibliography.

    Stephen has presented a lot of similarities between many religions. And he seems curious to come to some level where he can compare the religions with same roots. He succeeded many time but only true followers can make it out whether he was right or it was another fictitious fairytale.
    Far from speculative world of theologists and priests and saints, this book sounds like a sigh of comfort for them if they want to dwell on fact-supported ideologies. Written in lucid narration, the book is easy to read but it requires one to have minimalistic knowledge of religions and their allied figures that are often chanted in the worship.
