Description
A History of God From Abraham to the Present explores the complex and often conflicting history of human belief in a single divine being. From the earliest monotheistic traditions to the present day, this book examines the ways in which the idea of God has shaped Western society and the many different ways in which it has been interpreted. Karen Armstrong's thought-provoking account confronts the darker aspects of organised religion and the violence that has often accompanied it, while also revealing the profound impact that the idea of God has had on human culture and society. This is a fascinating and original study that challenges readers to think critically about the nature of faith and its place in the world.
