'Provocative, thoughtful, fiercely intelligent and, for both believing and nonbelieving, formal and informal students of religion, a must-read.' — Booklist 'This book could well be the most highly readable, accurate and up-to-date introduction to the world's major religions.' — Harvey Cox, Hollis Research Professor of Divinity, Harvard University, and author of The Future of Faith. 'enormously timely, thoughtful and balanced' — Los Angeles Times 'God is Not One is 2010's must-read for anyone religiously illiterate. … Don't know much about the world's faiths? Get a copy now.' — The Daily Beast 'Stephen Prothero has done it again. This is a powerfully written, paradigm-shifting book. How religious differences can be a bridge of cooperation rather than a bomb of destruction is one of the most important challenges of our era, and Prothero is as good a guide as you will find.'—Eboo Patel, founder and executive director of Interfaith Youth Core and author of Acts of Faith. 'A very much needed book!' — Miroslav Volf, Professor, Yale University, and author of Exclusion and Embrace. 'An urgently needed and very nicely done corrective to politically correct nonsense.'—Rodney Stark, author of Discovering God: The Origins of the Great Religions and the Evolution of Faith. 'Prothero's contribution is an easily read yet nonetheless discerning discussion and outline of the world's major faiths … an admirable work of public intellectualism.'— Courier Mail '[Prothero] has the knack of presenting complex theology and history of religious ideas in a clear, accessible way … the book has a sense of purpose and a feistiness that is refreshing.' — Sydney Morning Herald.
