description: In this sweeping narrative that takes us from the Stone Age to the Information Age Robert Wright unveils an astonishing discovery: there is a hidden pattern that the great monotheistic faiths have followed as they have evolved. Through the prisms of archaeology theology and evolutionary psychology Wright's findings overturn basic assumptions about Judaism Christianity and Islam and are sure to cause controversy. He explains why spirituality has a role today and why science contrary to conventional wisdom affirms the validity of the religious quest. And this previously unrecognized evolutionary logic points not toward continued religious extremism but future harmony. Nearly a decade in the making The Evolution of God is a breathtaking re-examination of the past and a visionary look forward.
