Well reviewed in hardback, this title explores the evolution of belief, from the origins of the idea of a single divine being over 4,000 years ago, to the many bloody wars that have happened in the name of God over the centuries.
Synopsis
The idea of a single divine being - God, Yahweh, Allah - has existed for over 4,000 years. But the history of God is also the history of human struggle. This account of the evolution of belief examines Western society's unerring fidelity to this idea of One God and the many conflicting convictions it engenders.
