Testament of Man series, by Vardis Fisher.
A series of novels, published from 1943 to 1960, and the blurb on the back of one of the volumes has the following list of titles:
Darkness and The Deep: Prehistoric man's discovery of himself
The Golden Rooms: First sense of the supernatural
Intimations of Eve: The power of primitive womahn
Adam and the Serpent: The male learns to dominate
The Divine Passion: Sun worship and the power of Sex
The Valley of Vision: King Solomon and his Times
The Islands of the Innocent: The wars of the Maccabees
Jesus Came Again: A new Messiah in Israel
A Goat for Azazel: A search for Truth in the ancient world
Peace Like a River: Holy men and sinners in the desert
My Holy Satan: Death and love in the middle ages
For passion, for Heaven: Passions of modern Man
The Great Confession: Our own time--and the unending search for fulfilment.
I doubt they are available in e-book format, or for that matter in print. Pyramid Books reprinted them in paperback in the 60s, and the ones I had were second-hand paperbacks. Quite gripping, and rather rough going at times. Not Jean M Auel by any means.
