God

In God, Reza Aslan sheds new light on mankind’s relationship with the divine and challenges our perspective on faith and the birth of religion.

From the origins of spiritual thought to the concept of an active, engaged, divine presence that underlies all creation, Aslan examines how the idea of god arose in human evolution, was gradually personalized, endowed with human traits and emotions, and eventually transformed into a single Divine Personality: the God known today by such names as Yahweh, Father, and Allah.

Bold, wide-ranging and provocative, God challenges everything we thought we knew about the origins of religious belief, and with it our relationship with life and death, with the natural and spiritual worlds, and our understanding of the very essence of human existence.

In Dumnezeu, Reza Aslan arunca o noua lumina asupra relatiei omenirii cu divinul si ne provoaca perspectiva asupra credintei si a nasterii religiei. De la originile gandirii spirituale pana la conceptul de prezenta activa, angajata, divina care sta la baza intregii creatii, Aslan examineaza modul in care ideea lui Dumnezeu a aparut in evolutia umana, a fost treptat personalizata, inzestrata cu trasaturi si emotii umane si, in cele din urma, transformata intr-o singura personalitate divina: Dumnezeul cunoscut astazi de nume precum Yahweh, Tatal si Allah. si provocator, Dumnezeu provoaca tot ceea ce credeam ca stim despre originile credintei religioase si, odata cu aceasta, relatia noastra cu viata si moartea, cu lumile naturale si spirituale si intelegerea noastra despre esenta existentei umane.
