A History of God: all the regions in the world believe in super natural power. This supernatural power is named by the different religions with different names. The concept of God has been present in the history of the world but the aspects and beliefs vary with generation to generation, region to region and nation to nation. Christianity, Judaism and Islam are the three great religions whose followers believe in the existence of God whereas Hindus, Buddha’s and communist do not believe in ant God or the existence of God.
The Christ and Moses are the prophets who founded the religion of Christianity and Judaism respectively though their message was to preach the oneness of Allah and to invite the people to worship Him and no one else but with the passage of time, their concept of God went on changing and now in the present world, they worship God symbolically and as such their belief on God has been no stronger.

The author starts his research from the Jews. He traces the history and logic how they transformed themselves from the idol worship in Babylon to the purely monotheism. It is the century old concept in the history. He is of the opinion that both Islam and Christianity grew from this basic and revolutionary idea but with these new concepts, both the religions of Islam and Christianity furnished the idea of the one God to make it suitable to their social and political requirements and needs. He also traces the old philosophy and medieval mysticism to the reformation period. Karen performs the near wonder of the distilling the intellectual history of monotheism into one superbly readable volume. It was to take its position in the classic period.
Praise for History of God. The book is very interesting and worth reading to get to know the basic concepts of the three major religions of the world. How they started to believe in the existence of God and the concept of the oneness of God in the line of the history with the help of historical references.
