In this stunningly intelligent book, Karen Armstrong, one of Britain's
foremost commentators on religious affairs, traces the history of how
men and women have perceived and experienced God, from the time of
Abraham to the present. From classical philsophy and medieval mysticism
to the Reformation, the Enlightenment, and the modern age of skepticism,
Karen Armstrong performs the near miracle of distilling the
intellectual history of monotheism into one superbly readable volume,
destined to take its place as a classic.
