Description
The Lost Art of Scripture by Karen Armstrong explores how the world's religious texts can be a force for good in today's secular world. In this thought-provoking journey through millennia of history, Armstrong argues that a narrow reading of scripture is a relatively recent phenomenon and that rediscovering an open engagement with holy texts can help curtail arrogance and intolerance. Armstrong shows that by using scripture to engage with the world in more meaningful and compassionate ways, we can still learn valuable lessons from these ancient texts. This book offers a fresh perspective on the role of religion in society and challenges readers to rethink their relationship with sacred writings. A magisterial work, The Lost Art of Scripture is a fascinating exploration of the power of scripture to inspire and unite people across cultures and faiths.
