DESCRIPTION

Synopsis from the back of the book: 

You're no idiot of course. You know that followers of the world's major religions all profess to believe in God. But why is it that each faith is radically different from the next - and yet most insist they worship the one true God?

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Exploring God examines the concepts of God throughout recorded history - and how each creed expresses their beliefs in the Almighty. In this book, you get:

• The four ideas that explores God's existence: pantheism, polytheism, monotheism and atheism.
• The evolutions of the Jewish God - Yahweh, the Christian Trinity and the Allah of the Quran.
• What Buddhist traditions and Chinese philosophies can teach the West about God.
• A look at the controversy over citing God in politics
