'An amazingly wide-ranging book, showing that the world's religious
texts can be a force for good today' John Barton, author of A
History of the BibleIn our increasingly secular world, holy texts
are at best seen as irrelevant, and at worst as an excuse to incite
violence, hatred and division. The Quran, the Torah and the Bible
are often employed selectively to underwrite arbitrary and
subjective views. They are believed to be divinely ordained, they
are claimed to contain eternal truths.But as Karen Armstrong, a
world authority on religious affairs, shows in this fascinating
journey through millennia of history, this narrow reading of
scripture is a relatively recent phenomenon. Armstrong argues that
only by rediscovering an open engagement with their holy texts will
the world's religions be able to curtail arrogance and intolerance.
And if scripture is used to engage with the world in more
meaningful and compassionate ways, we will find that it still has a
great deal to teach us.'Magisterial... A dazzling accomplishment'
New York Times'Glorious... Armstrong is the most articulate and
generous-hearted exegete of religion writing in English at the
present time' A.N.Wilson, New Statesman
