A review by laurencenz
A History of God: The 4,000-Year Quest of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam by Karen Armstrong
4.0
Hugely impressive book - does what it says on the cover. The author acknowledges that far too many people have used religion as a tool to coerce their followers and kill their non-believers - with no real distiinction between the 3 monotheistic religions.
Is God a superior being, or something else completely; and how have different philosophers and relgious leaders answered that question - with logic, mysticisim and oratory.
She concludes that there is a future for God, but only if people concentrate on the essence of God (compassion and love) and step back from all the hating.
It was written in 1993, and since then all 3 religions have taken massive steps to increase the emphasis on hating and killing. So I guess that means there is no future for God
