FREE: A History of God

The listing, A History of God has ended.

Why does God exist? How have the 3 dominant monotheistic religions-Judaism, Christianity & Islam-shaped & altered the conception of God? How have these religions influenced each other? In this stunningly intelligent book, Karen Armstrong, one of Britain's foremost commentators on religious affairs, traces the history of how men & women have perceived & experienced God, from the time of Abraham to the present.
The epic story begins with the Jews' gradual transformation of pagan idol worship in Babylon into true monotheism-a concept previously unknown in the world. Christianity & Islam both rose on the foundation of this revolutionary idea, but these religions refashioned "the One God" to suit the social & political needs of their followers. From classical philosophy & medieval mysticism to the Reformation, the Enlightenment, & the modern age of skepticism, Karen Armstrong performs the near miracle of distilling the intellectual history of monotheism into one superbly readable volume, destined to take its place as a classic. A New York Times Bestseller. Paperback. 460 pages. Ballantine Books.
