John Michael Greer has written and co-authored quite a few Pagan books, but not the type I would normally pick up and read, however, this title is very different from his usual works. It is an academic thesis on Polytheism covering the beliefs, the arguments for and against Polytheism, as well as the practices, worship and ethics. While this work is the most extensive and thorough coverage of Polytheism I have ever seen it is not a simple read. University students will be able to breeze through it no problem, but as I have a thing against academic essay format (opinions a, b,c and why they are a, b, c wrong and a, b, c right - ack!), I found it difficult to follow and all the conflicting arguments presented are easy to get impatient with. This is not "Polytheism for Dummies" but I would recommend it to those with a serious interest in Polytheism who wish to understand it better; to those who are monotheistic and wish to understand how Polytheism works and why it's rational; and also to pagans and non-pagans with an academic interest in spirituality who have studied other religions. A World Full of Gods makes you think and the author gives some very convincing arguments and analogies. It's definitely worth the read if you think you can handle it. ("Note: this title is not to be confused with A World Full of Gods: The Strange Triumph of Christianity by Keith Hopkins")
