À propos de cet audio
The number one New York Times best-selling author of Zealot and host of Believer explores humanity's quest to make sense of the divine and sounds a call to embrace a deeper, more expansive understanding of God.
In Zealot, Reza Aslan replaced the well-worn portrayal of Jesus of Nazareth with a startling new image of the man in all his contradictions. In his new book, Aslan takes on a subject even more immense: God, writ large.
In layered prose and with thoughtful, accessible scholarship, Aslan narrates the history of religion as one long and remarkably cohesive attempt to understand the divine by giving it human traits and emotions. According to Aslan, this innate desire to humanize God is hardwired in our brains, making it a central feature of nearly every religious tradition. As Aslan writes, "Whether we are aware of it or not, and regardless if we are believers or not, what the vast majority of us think about when we think about God is a divine version of ourselves."
But this projection is not without consequences. We bestow upon God not just all that is good in human nature - our compassion, our thirst for justice - but all that is bad in it: our greed, our bigotry, our penchant for violence. All these qualities inform our religions, cultures, and governments.
More than just a history of our understanding of God, this book is an attempt to get to the root of this humanizing impulse in order to develop a more universal spirituality. Whether you believe in one God, many gods, or no god at all, God: A Human History will transform the way you think about the divine and its role in our everyday lives.

Are those other books going to be more in depth? Yeah, sure. That’s fine. This book is brief (5 hour audiobook), but the ideas are concise and clear and well written. I really enjoyed it and will probably listen to it again in a year or two.
The interesting twist was in the last chapter, where he switched from a history of the idea of god, to an appeal to an understanding of god in a pantheistic way. I didn’t mind this chapter. Even though I don’t necessarily buy it, I did appreciate hearing his train of thought and why he is a believer in a pantheistic god.
This audiobook is also narrated by the author, which is something I always appreciate.
