Summary
Religion scholar Prothero asserts that it is time to replace nave hopes of interreligious unity with deeper knowledge of religious differences. A bold polemical response to a generation of misguided scholarship, "God Is Not One" creates a new context for understanding religion in the 21st century and disproves the assumptions about the way the world's religions work.
