This book is a well researched and enlightening work on the (dis)connections of the three main Abrahamic religions, which are Judaism, Christianity, and Islamism. The author uses two chapters to establish each religion foundation and how it interact with other religions and with historical, social, and economic realities. Afterwards, some chapters are devoted to other formats of religiosity within these three religions and how it evolved with in time and how they respond to new theological questions and philosophical advancements, such as Enlightenment, atheism as a modern conception, wars, among other things.
The book closes with an attempt to diagnose the future of God and its religions. How will religions adapt, if they will, to modernity and new spiritual demands of people is something we should be attentive to.
Finally, History of God is a good book to open a systematic research to deepen one's knowledge about the most popular religions of the Globe.
