Subtitled “A Psychological, Anthropological and Statistical Study” and first published in 1916, Leuba’s book explores the origin, nature and function of what he calls a “personal” god. He analyzes how modern conceptions of God and immortality have grown not from a single primary belief but as an independent creations, born of the realization of ideals. In addition, he examines how science now plays its part in creating a “personal immortality.”
