Stephen Prothero: God Is Not One

5/12/2014; 58 minutes

Are all religions simply different ways up the same mountain? Or is the key to religious tolerance found in better understanding differences? In "God is Not One: The Eight Rival Religions That Run the World," New York Times best-selling author and religion scholar Stephen Prothero argues that persistent attempts to portray all religions as different paths to the same God overlook the distinct problem that each tradition seeks to solve. Delving into the different problems and solutions that Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Confucianism, Yoruba Religion, Daoism and Atheism strive to combat, provides a guide to the questions human beings have asked for millennia—and to the disparate paths we are taking to answer them today.
