Shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction (2010).
For centuries, faithful followers of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism have looked to their holy texts for spiritual guidance, social and political mandates, and answers to man's burning questions about the workings of the universe. But what if these believers have been overlooking the most important message in their Scriptures? In THE EVOLUTION OF GOD, a kind of 'hidden code' in the Bible and the Koran is found. Read closely, these texts reveal the key to harmony among the Abrahamic faiths, and thus to a peaceful world—nothing less than the salvation of humankind. THE EVOLUTION OF GOD explains why spirituality has a role today, why science affirms the validity of the religious quest, and why the future will hold harmony instead of religious extremism.
