A history of God : the 4000-year quest of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam / by Karen Armstrong - New York : Alfred A. Knopf , 2004, c1993. - xxiii, 460 p. : maps ; 25 cm.
Originally published: New York : Ballantine Books, 1993.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [427]-436) and index.
In the beginning ... -- One God -- A light to the gentiles -- Trinity: The Christian God -- Unity: The God of Islam -- The God of the philosophers -- The God of the mystics -- A God for reformers -- Enlightenment -- The death of God? -- Does God have a future?
In this stunningly intelligent book, Karen Armstrong, one of Britain's foremost commentators on religious affairs, traces the history of how men and women have perceived and experienced God, from the time of Abraham to the present. From classical philsophy and medieval mysticism to the Reformation, the Enlightenment, and the modern age of skepticism, Karen Armstrong performs the near miracle of distilling the intellectual history of monotheism into one superbly readable volume, destined to take its place as a classic.
