The Case For God

BY KAREN ARMSTRONG

Brief Description:
This book moves from the stone age to the present detailing the great lengths to which humankind has gone in order to experience a sacred reality that it called by many names, such as God, Brahman, Nirvana, Allah, or Dao. Focusing especially on Christianity but including Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, & Hinduism, Armstrong examines the diminished impulse toward religion in our own time. Why has God become so unbelievable to so many? She makes a powerful, argument for drawing on the insights of the past in order to build a faith that speaks to the needs of our polarized age, but cautions us that religion was never supposed to provide answers that lie within the competence of human reason.
