The Creation of God. A Brief History of Monotheism

The author of the books "Jesus: A Historical Investigation" and "The Christ with a Thousand Faces" examines the significance and paradoxes of monotheism. This concept, which shaped the modern world’s image, seems strange because of its idea of one all-good God responsible for suffering and disasters. Chinese culture and civilizations such as Ancient Greece and Rome developed successfully without monotheism. The book does not approach monotheism from theological or atheistic positions; instead, it focuses on its origins, development, and the interests associated with it. Questions about how monotheism emerged, the disappearance of Jews inclined toward polytheism, and the connection between ancient Jewish beliefs and Christianity and Islam are at the heart of this study.
