Why does God exist? How have the three dominant monotheistic religions--Judaism, Christianity, and Islam--shaped and altered the conception of God? How have these religions influenced each other? In this stunningly intelligent book, Karen Armstrong, one of Britain's foremost commentators on religious affairs, traces the history of how men and women have perceived and experienced God, from the time of Abraham to the present.

The epic story begins with the Jews' gradual transformation of pagan idol worship in Babylon into true monotheism--a concept previously unknown in the world. Christianity and Islam both rose on the foundation of this revolutionary idea, but these religions refashioned 'the One God' to suit the social and political needs of their followers. From classical philosophy and medieval mysticism to the Reformation, Karen Armstrong performs the near miracle of distilling the intellectual history of monotheism into one superbly readable volume, destined to take its place as a classic.

Praise for History of God

"An admirable and impressive work of synthesis that will give insight and satisfaction to thousands of lay readers."--The Washington Post Book World

"A brilliantly lucid, spendidly readable book. Karen] Armstrong has a dazzling ability: she can take a long and complex subject and reduce it to the fundamentals, without oversimplifying."--The Sunday Times (London)

"Absorbing . . . A lode of learning."--Time

"The most fascinating and learned study of the biggest wild goose chase in history--the quest for God. Karen Armstrong is a genius."--A.N. Wilson, author of Jesus: A Life

Gentle and works well
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
We really like this! It’s gentle on my daughter’s skin and hasn’t caused any irritation. It lathers nicely without being harsh and leaves her skin feeling clean and soft. A great option if you’re dealing with sensitive or eczema-prone skin.

AMAZING so far!!!
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
So far so good! Bought this out of desperation my poor bub was suffering with red itchy eczema so bad and bathing her resulted in painful stinging and screaming. Last night I used this cream wash in a lukewarm bath about 96 degrees and quickly and gently wash her entire body no more than 10 minute bath since we have extremely hard water…I then SMOTHERED her in baby advanced therapy aquaphor before putting her onesie on and the next morning her skin looked so much better. The ingredients aren’t totally great and is why I hesitated to purchase at first but it ended up being fine. Very creamy and moisturizing, does not have suds at all which is what eczema needs. No smell to it which is good cause she’s very sensitive to fragrance. Big bottle for the price. I would recommend giving it a try, every baby is different but if you’re desperate like I was it can’t hurt to give it a shot. I have attached a before and after picture of her belly, first was before the bath and second is the morning after.

Its a cream texture
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It's a cream texture body wash. It normally does not make any bubbles as other body washes. Is just like putting on cream on body, but it leaves the body moisturized.
