Review:
"One of our best living writers on religion....prodigiously sourced, passionately written" (John Cornwell FT)
"Karen Armstrong invites us on a journey through religion that helps us to rescue what remains wise from so much that to many in Britain today no longer seems true....Armstrong is one of the the handful of wise and supremely intelligent commentators on religion" (Alain de Botton Observer)
"Comprehensive and measured" (Paul Vallely The Independent)
"This is a stunned appreciation of an 'otherness' beyond the reach of language, and for Armstrong, constitutes the heart of every religion" (Sholto Byrnes New Statesmen)
"It isn't an easy read - why should it be? - and at times her expertise in theology and its technical terms get in the way of layman's understanding. But at her best, she is wonderfully clear and insightful - and not out to convert anyone" (Peter Lewis Daily Mail)
