Monotheism is a very new idea in the history of religions, yet it has become the foundation of the three great western religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

In this lecture we discuss the idea of “one God,” by focusing on three prophets. We also ask what it means to be a prophet. Are prophets inventors of religion, or are they social reformers who, as mouthpieces of the gods, strive to amend and reinterpret the existing beliefs and practices of their communities?

Bruce Feiler will be selling and signing copies of Generation FreedomKaren King will be selling and signing copies of The Secret Revelation of John and Reza Azlan will be selling and signing copies of No god but God: The Origins and Evolution of Islam and Beyond Fundamentalism following the event.
