Book Description:
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.

Ambitious review of the ways in which Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have perceived God, but it is densely written and a very tough read.

Well worth the effort to read this scholarly & respectful survey of the history of worshipping the God of Abraham.

An excellent examination in evolution of the primary religiions of Christiantiy, Judism and Isalam. Dense reading, but rewarding.
