About This Item
London: Bodley Head, 2009. 1st p/b ed.. Paperback thick octavo, very good condition, minor edgewear. 376 pp. Karen Armstrong argues that, historically, atheism has rarely been a denial of the sacred itself but has nearly always rejected a particular conception of God. Tracing the history of faith from the Palaeolithic era to the present, the author shows that until recently science and religion (Christianity) were not at war with each other.
Synopsis
A history of the human attempt to answer hard questions through religious constructions, mainly the idea of God and mostly in Western monotheistic religions, principally Christianity.
