The evolution seemed to be Old Testament = God of Israel, New Testament = God of the Jews and Gentiles, but they still clearly weren't thinking about people in distant lands like the Chinese or Mesoamericans.

I think that any religions that have survived to the present day did so in part because they contained flexibilities like "defer to the Pope"

    It's almost like these books of supposed divine revelation could only have been informed by the experiences of the people who wrote them… 🤔
