'황금가지: 비교종교학 연구'
(The Golden Bough: A Study in Comparative Religion)
영국 국적의 사회인류학자 제임스 조지 프레이저가 신화와 종교를 주제로 연구해 저술한 책이다. 1890년 처음 출간됐다.
토머스 불핀치의 "그리스 로마 신화"(Age of Fable)만큼이나 많은 영향을 끼쳤다.
종교를 신학 관점이 아닌 문화 관점에서 접근해 미개인의 신앙이나 풍습을 비교하고 연구한 제임스 조지 프레이저는 인간의 문명이 미신과 주술에서 종교로, 종교에서 과학으로 진행돼 왔다고 역설했다.
1890년에 초판이 간행됐고 1936년에 전 13권으로서 완성됐다. (참고문헌: 위키백과)
이번 인쇄판은 13권의 내용을 모두 담아서
3권으로 편집하여
3권의 시리즈로 책을 구성하였다.
