The idea of a single divine being - God, Yahweh, Allah - has existed for over 4000 years, but the history of God is also the history of human struggle. While Judaism, Islam and Christianity proclaim the goodness of God, organized religion has too often been the catalyst for violence and ineradicable prejudice. This controversial account of the evolution of belief examines Western society's unerring fidelity to the idea of One God and the many conflicting convictions it engenders. Karen Armstrong's first book, "Through the Narrow Gate", described her seven years as a Roman Catholic nun. Since 1982 she has been a writer and broadcaster.
