God : a human history
Aslan, Reza2017
Book
Reza Aslan sheds new light on mankind's relationship with the divine and challenges our perspective on faith and the birth of religion. From the origins of spiritual thought to the concept of an active, engaged, divine presence that underlies all creation, Aslan examines how the idea of god arose in human evolution, was gradually personalised, endowed with human traits and emotions, and eventually transformed into a single divine personality: the God known today by such names as Yahweh, Father, and Allah.
