Hachette Book Group would like to offer five copies of Robert Wright’s brand new book The Evolution of God
to five readers of this blog. I will have copies sent to the first five who either send me an e-mail or leave a comment requesting a copy. I’m afraid that this opportunity is only for blog readers in North America, and that copies of the book cannot be sent to post office boxes.
Here’s the publisher’s description of the book:
In this sweeping narrative that takes us from the Stone Age to the Information Age, Robert Wright unveils an astonishing discovery: there is a hidden pattern that the great monotheistic faiths have followed as they have evolved. Through the prisms of archaeology, theology, and evolutionary psychology, Wright’s findings overturn basic assumptions about Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and are sure to cause controversy. He explains why spirituality has a role today, and why science, contrary to conventional wisdom, affirms the validity of the religious quest. And this previously unrecognized evolutionary logic points not toward continued religious extremism, but future harmony.
Nearly a decade in the making, The Evolution of God is a breathtaking re-examination of the past, and a visionary look forward.
Robert Wright is the author of Nonzero, The Moral Animal, and Three Scientists and Their Gods. He is a contributing editor to the New Republic, Time, and Slate, and he runs http://www.bloggingheads.com/.
