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 archaeology, 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.
