The Evolution of God

The Evolution of God traces changing ideas about divinity from early religions through Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Robert Wright examines how religious conceptions of God developed in response to social, political, and economic circumstances, using perspectives from history, anthropology, theology, and evolutionary psychology. The book considers whether religious traditions have become more inclusive over time and explores the place of religion in the modern scientific world.
