El 'Tratado de Historia de las Religiones' de Mircea Eliade es un estudio exhaustivo sobre la morfología y dialéctica de lo sagrado. Publicado originalmente en 1949, este libro se ha convertido en un clásico del pensamiento contemporáneo, sirviendo como base para numerosos estudiosos y lectores interesados en el fenómeno religioso. Eliade se acerca al tema considerando la religión en sí misma, evitando reduccionismos y centrándose en lo irreductible y original de la experiencia religiosa. Este enfoque permite circunscribir el fenómeno religioso dentro del conjunto de objetos del espíritu, examinando las distintas hierofanías cósmicas y la sacralidad presente en objetos religiosos privilegiados como el Cielo, el Agua, la Tierra y la Luna.

Mircea Eliade was a Romanian historian of religion, fiction writer, philosopher, and professor at the University of Chicago. One of the most influential scholars of religion of the 20th century and interpreter of religious experience, he established paradigms in religious studies. His theory that hierophanies form the basis of religion, splitting the human experience of reality into sacred and profane space and time, has proved influential. One of his most instrumental contributions to religious studies was his theory of eternal return, which holds that myths and rituals do not simply commemorate hierophanies, but actually participate in them.
