Abstract The author explores the ways in which the idea and experience of God evolved in the monotheistic religions. Historical, philosophical, intellectual and social developments are traced to show different conceptions of God through the ages. Change comes about when existing ideas are "no longer effective for the people who develop it." This selection offers the reader greater understanding of the place of theology in world history.
