In this sweeping narrative that takes us from the Stone Age to
the Information Age, Robert Wright unveils an astonishing
discovery: there is a hidden pattern that the great monotheistic
faiths have followed as they have evolved. Through the prisms of
archeology, theology, and evolutionary psychology, Wright's
findings overturn basic assumptions about Judaism, Christianity,
and Islam, and are sure to cause controversy. He explains why
spirituality has a role today, and why science, contrary to
conventional wisdom, affirms the validity of the religious quest.
And this previously unrecognized evolutionary logic points not
toward continued religious extremism, but future harmony.
Nearly a decade in the making, THE EVOLUTION OF GOD is a
breathtaking re-examination of the past, and a visionary look
forward.
