Karen Armstrong Builds A "Case For God"
Posted November 4th, 2009 by Emerging Spirit
A former nun, now an author known for such books as A History of God and The Battle for God: Fundamentalism in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, Karen Armstrong was recently interviewed on U.S. National Public Radio about her new book, The Case for God. In it, Armstrong “argues that religion is a practical discipline that teaches us to discover new capacities of the mind and heart.”
In the long format interview with Fresh Air host Terry Gross, Armstrong jumps right in to the deep end of the theological discourse swimming pool, discussing God as a being beyond being, “the God beyond God.” Whether you find yourself agreeing with Armstrong or not, you will likely find this interview interesting and thought-provoking.
