The Case for God by Karen Armstrong
3.0
This has been on my library audiobook lost forever. I don’t even remember why I wanted to listen to it, but I’m starting with the oldest and working my way through lol.
The Case for God is a reply to the recent claims that God does not exist from Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris and Daniel Dennett. It covers the history of religion, from the paleolithic age to the present day, with a focus on the three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and on apophatic theology in various religions.
Armstrong looks at the history of religion as a practical discipline that has taught how to discover new capacities of mind and heart, and how people through the centuries have translated doctrines into ritual or ethical action. Religion, she says, requires perseverance.
Great history of religion and it’s rise the ancient religions and their influence on modern religion. Also the way views is religious stories were viewed differently than today.
