In 'A History of God', Karen Armstrong explores the evolution of the concept of God over 4000 years in the three main monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The author analyzes how each religion has adopted a slightly different view of God throughout the centuries, while highlighting the profound similarities between them. Armstrong demonstrates that, in all three religions, God has been and is experienced in an intense, passionate, and often traumatic way. This book offers a revealing perspective on humanity's spiritual quest and the nature of faith.
