Now, Aslan takes on a subject even more immense: God, writ large.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith thoughtful, accessible scholarship, Aslan narrates the history of religion as one long and remarkably cohesive attempt to know 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 a result, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore than just a history, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eGod\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis an attempt to get to the root of this humanizing impulse in order to develop a more universal spirituality.
