Query: Outstanding historical and philosophical perspective.

I had been looking for information that traced the history of not only the creation and growth of the three Western religions, but also information that would help the reader understand the changing point of view expressed within each of the religions, especially toward God. I was pleased to find in one book everything that I had been seeking. I intend to reread it, using it as a study guide to better understand how our relationship with God and our concept of God's will has led us to where we find ourselves today. The references throughout give the serious student of religion sources of additional information.
