Description

Examines the conflicts between the three great monotheistic religions - Christianity, Judaism and Islam. This book returns to the origins of monotheism to shed new light on the conflict of the faiths. Following the polytheism of the ancient civilizations of Egyptians, Hittites and Babylonians, Jewish monotheism was born as a theology of protest.
