This is a book about God. Not just any god, but the god that created Adam and Eve, the god of the Jews, Christians and Muslims - without a doubt, the most influential figure in the history of human civilisation. But what do we really know about him? Who exactly is he? Where did he come from? What does he look like? What sort of character has he? What does he eat? Does he have a family? In what ways can he be said even to exist at all?

Alexander Waugh has been asking questions like these, questions that we all ask about God, for as long as he can remember. Now, having drawn from an enormous range of sources, from the sacred books of the Hebrew Bible, the Christian New Testament and the Islamic Qu'ran, from the Greek Apocrypha and the ancient texts of Nag Hammadi to the Dead Sea Scrolls he has sought out the answers; using material gleaned from the diverse writings of saints, rabbis, historians, prophets, atheists, poets and mystics, he has moulded his findings into a singular, striking biographical portrait of God.

Erudite, perceptive and entertaining, 'God: The Biography' reveals many startling and unexpected characteristics of the divine being. From the simple stories of Genesis and Job, explored from God's own viewpoint, to the prophesies of Muhammad and Sybil and the intricate philosophies of Newton and Nietzsche, Alexander Waugh has left no stone unturned in his compulsive mission to create a fascinating and complex portrait of God.
