A History of God

Author: Karen Armstrong
Synopsis: The idea of a single divine being - God, Yahweh, Allah- has existed for over 4000 years. In this account of the evolution of belief Armstrong examines Western society's unerring fidelity to this idea of one God and the many conflicting convictions it engenders.
Comments: Fascinating historical study of the idea of God. Learned a lot and derived much thought from it.
