    <![CDATA[Over 700,000 copies of the original hardcover and paperback editions of this stunningly popular book have been sold.  Karen Armstrong's superbly readable exploration of how the three dominant monotheistic religions of the world—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—have shaped and altered the conception of God is a tour de force.  One of Britain's foremost commentators on religious affairs, Armstrong traces the history of how men and women have perceived and experienced God, from the time of Abraham to the present.  From classical philosophy  and medieval mysticism to the  Reformation, the Enlightenment, and the modern age of skepticism, Armstrong performs the near miracle of distilling the intellectual history of monotheism into one compelling volume.]]>

I feel like I learned something new on nearly every page. <br/><br/>This book is truly a history book on a grand scale.
