📘 The evolution of God by Wright, Robert

In "The Evolution of God," Robert Wright offers a sweeping historical tour that starts in the Stone Age and extends to the Information Age. Using archaeology, theology and evolutionary psychology, he uncovers a hidden, evolutionary logic that has guided the development of the major monotheistic religions. Wright’s analysis challenges conventional assumptions about Judaism, Christianity and Islam, argues that scientific insight can affirm the validity of the religious quest, and suggests that this logic points toward future interfaith harmony rather than continued extremism.
