The Evolution of God

Book • 2009
In this book, Robert Wright explores the development of God concepts from pre-agricultural societies to the rise of Christianity and Islam.

He uses archaeology, theology, history, and evolutionary psychology to reveal how these faiths have evolved away from belligerence and intolerance towards harmony and reconciliation.

Wright also discusses the potential for a modern scientific worldview to coexist with a divine perspective, challenging conventional wisdom about the origins and evolution of monotheism.
