My intro to comparative religion. Should be read by all. ( )
  millsge | Nov 26, 2009 |
Mrs. Armstrong offers wonderful information. A must-read for anyone interested in religious studies. This was a great read. ( )
  Anagarika | Oct 30, 2009 |
A tour de force through the history of the predominant Western human conceptions of God that have emerged, changed, co-merged, diverged, died out, and re-emerged across the centuries, across regions and cultures, and within religious communities.

While Armstrong does have a personal perspective in her writing, she is a powerhouse in history of religion.

If one is wanting a contemporary scholarly overview of the historical origins and developments of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; if one likes researched, dense text when compared to other popularizers; if one aspires to the Golden Rule and disdains fundamentalism of nearly all ilk; the reader will come away pleased and informed in the history of conceptions of, beliefs about, and practices concerning the conceptions of God in the history of the Western human civilization.

Why does God exist? How have the three dominant monorheistics religions shaped and altered the conception of God?

Armstrong, a British journalist and former nun, guides us along one of the most elusive and fascinating quests of all time--the search for God. Like all beloved historians, Armstrong entertains us with deft storytelling, astounding research, and makes us feel a greater appreciation for the present because we better understand our past. Be warned: A History of God is not a tidy linear history. Rather, we learn that the definition of God is constantly being repeated, altered, discarded, and resurrected through the ages, responding to its followers' practical concerns rather than to mystical mandates. Armstrong also shows us how Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have overlapped and influenced one another, gently challenging the secularist history of each of these religions. --Gail Hudson
