From Gods to God

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

THIS BOOK WAS shaped by thousands of years of human curiosity and a few months of my own obsession.

Thanks to the storytellers, scribes, skeptics, believers, scholars, and mystics who kept the thread alive long enough for me to pick it up.

Thanks to the people around me who let me work through this out loud.
And to the ones who know the difference between belief and meaning and let me chase both anyway.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

JJ WRITES ABOUT history, belief, power, and the weird things humans do to make sense of being alive. He is the author of over 250 books, most of them fast, sharp, and unafraid to say the quiet parts out loud. You can find his work at jjarchives.com

He doesn’t believe in a bunch of rinky dink gods.
But he definitely believes in stories.
