First published 1900
In "God," religious scholar Reza Aslan challenges our preconceptions about the divine. Weaving together historical, philosophical, and anthropological insights, he takes readers on a sweeping journey through the evolution of our understanding of God. From ancient polytheisms to modern monotheisms, Aslan illuminates how our conception of the Almighty has been shaped by the social, cultural, and political currents of each era. With sharp intellect and compelling prose, he invites us to re-examine our most fundamental beliefs, opening the door to a more nuanced, pluralistic, and ultimately more human understanding of the divine.
