Krátky popis
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Zealot and host of
Believer explores humanity's quest to make sense of the divine, and
sounds a call to embrace a deeper, more expansive understanding of
God. In Zealot, Reza Aslan replaced the staid, well-worn portrayal
of Jesus of Nazareth with a startling new image of the man in all
his contradictions. In his new book, Aslan takes on a subject even
more immense: God, writ large. In layered prose and with
thoughtful, accessible scholarship, Aslan narrates the history of
religion as one long and remarkably cohesive attempt to understand
the divine by giving it human traits and emotions. According to
Aslan, this innate desire to humanize God is hardwired in our
brains, making it a central feature of nearly every religious
tradition. As Aslan writes, ",Whether we are aware of it or not,
and regardless of whether we're believers or not, what the vast
majority of us think about when we think about God is a divine
version of ourselves.", But this projection is not without
consequences. We bestow upon God not just all that is good in human
nature--our compassion, our thirst for justice--but all that is bad
in it: our greed, our bigotry, our penchant for violence. All these
qualities inform our religions, cultures, and governments. More
than just a history of our understanding of God, this book is an
attempt to get to the root of this humanizing impulse in order to
develop a more universal spirituality. Whether you believe in one
God, many gods, or no god at all, God: A Human History will
challenge the way you think about the divine and its role in our
everyday lives.
