About A History of God by Karen Armstrong:
A History of God is a rich and comprehensive account of the concept of God across thousands of years of human history. Karen Armstrong, a former nun, focuses on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, with insights into the work of Western history’s great theologians and philosophers.
Can humanity persist without some idea of God? Far from moving into an era of pure atheism, Armstrong believes that God as a construct is more crucial now than ever. God is not “dead,” God has not abandoned us, God merely shape-shifts to adapt to new contexts, whether that context is medieval agrarianism, nineteenth-century romanticism, or twenty-first-century post-modern techno-urbanism.
Armstrong’s in-depth examination of monotheism provides a foundation for the curious novice while not holding back on academic concepts and obscure but fascinating historical accounts.
The summary and analysis in this ebook are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of nonfiction.

  • Erdem KAYAhar citeretfor 7 år siden
    As secular thinking grew in popularity and possibility, reactionary groups (in all three of the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim spheres) responded with fundamentalist and often millenarian sects that sought to “purify” religion and return it to its original grace.
  • Erdem KAYAhar citeretfor 7 år siden
    The “Middle Ages,” or medieval times, of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries was a period of great rupture, dissonance, and crisis for the major faiths. Scholars and thinkers of all kinds were asking the question: How could a divine God allow so much evil and agony in a world He created?
