“Timely, riveting, enlightening and necessary.”—HuffPost
“Tantalizing . . . Driven by [Reza] Aslan’s grace and curiosity,
God . . . helps us pan out from our troubled times, while asking us
to consider a more expansive view of the divine in contemporary
life.”—The Seattle Times
“A fascinating exploration of the interaction of our humanity and
God.”—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“[Reza Aslan’s] slim, yet ambitious book [is] the story of how
humans have created God with a capital G, and it’s thoroughly
mind-blowing.”—Los Angeles Review of Books
“Aslan is a born storyteller, and there is much to enjoy in this
intelligent survey.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“Extraordinary . . . clear, concise [and] lively.”—The
Spectator
“Breathtaking in its scope and controversial in its claims, God: A
Human History shows how humans from time immemorial have made God
in their own image, and argues that they should now stop. Writing
with all the verve and brilliance we have come to expect from his
pen, Reza Aslan has once more produced a book that will prompt
reflection and shatter assumptions.”—Bart D. Ehrman, author of How
Jesus Became God
“Reza Aslan offers so much to relish in his excellent ‘human
history’ of God. In tracing the commonalities that unite religions,
Aslan makes truly challenging arguments that believers in many
traditions will want to mull over, and to explore further. This
rewarding book is very ambitious in its scope, and it is thoroughly
grounded in an impressive body of reading and research.”—Philip
Jenkins, author of Crucible of Faith
