Summary

In this groundbreaking book-accessible to laypeople and scholars alike-André Lemaire, a world-renowned expert on the ancient world, explores the development of perhaps the most important idea in the history of mankind: the concept of a single, universal God. Lemaire traces this key idea from its precursor-the religion of ancient Israel, which worshiped a single God but accepted the idea that other nations would have gods of their own to worship-to the development of classic, universal monotheism during the crisis of the Babylonian Exile and after.
