A History of God is an account of how humans have perceived and experienced God, from the time of Abraham to the present. The book discusses the three major monotheistic religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam with some side steps into other religions. The book is very ambitious in scope but Mrs. Armstrong has the skills to clearly and convincingly explain the major developments of the concept "God" over the last 4000 years.

I read this book in Dutch years ago when my parents brought it from the library. I found it a fascinating book then, and I still do.
