Description

God: An Anatomy by Francesca Stavrakopoulou The concept of God has evolved significantly over the centuries, and Francesca Stavrakopoulou explores this development in her book, God: An Anatomy. By examining the cultural and historical context of the Western idea of God, Stavrakopoulou reveals how our understanding of God has shaped our attitudes towards human existence, experience, and society. From the head to the genitals, Stavrakopoulou analyses the body of God, tracing the origins of our oldest monotheistic religions and Western culture. She explores the places and artefacts that have shaped our view of this singular God, and the ancient religions and societies of the biblical world. Beautifully written and passionately argued, God: An Anatomy is a cultural history on a grand scale.
