A History of God: The 4000-year Quest of Judaism, Christianity and Islam is a book by Karen Armstrong about the history of major monotheistic religions that claim ancestry from Abraham. Armstrong examines the the origins of Judaism and the cult of Jahweh, as well as the authors of the five books of Moses and the discrepancies between their texts. She continues by examining the sources of Jesus and the changing conception of God after the death of Christ. Islam is examined from a social, philosophical and mystical perspective.
