Synopsis "Creating God: The Birth and Growth of Major Religions (in English)"
What do we really know about how and where religions began, and how they spread? In this bold new book, award-winning author Robin Derricourt takes us on a journey through the birth and growth of the major religions, along the way using history and archaeology to recreate the times, places and societies that witnessed the birth of significant monotheistic faiths. Beginning with Mormonism and working backwards in time through Islam, Christianity and Judaism to Zoroastrianism, Creating God opens up the conditions that allowed religious movements to emerge, attract their first followers and grow. Throughout history there have been many prophets: individuals who believed they were in direct contact with the divine, with instructions to spread a religious message. While many of these new religious movements disappeared without trace, some gained millions of followers to establish a lasting religion. In Creating God, Robin Derricourt has produced a brilliant, panoramic book that offers new insights on the origins of major religions and raises essential questions about why some succeeded where others failed.
