Description

In this groundbreaking book—accessible to laypeople and scholars alike—André Lemaire, a world-renowned expert on the ancient world, explores the development of perhaps the most important idea in the history of mankind: the concept of a single, universal God. Lemaire traces this key idea from its precursor—the religion of ancient Israel, which worshiped a single God but accepted the idea that other nations would have gods of their own to worship—to the development of classic, universal monotheism during the crisis of the Babylonian Exile and after.
