lunxy 's review for:
A History of God: The 4,000-Year Quest of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
by Karen Armstrong
challenging
informative
inspiring
reflective
slow-paced
an absolutely fascinating book, I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone interested in the religious history of the “One God”
This book is my first time delving into a more objective explanation of monotheistic religion and it has fundamentally changed the way i think and interact with my own spirituality.
Armstrong is an excellent writer and her explanations were easy enough to grasp for a non academic like myself (although someone reading with little to no familiarity with biblical stories may have more trouble)
the second half of the book can be a bit repetitive but i think is more useful in ensuring you understand the point it’s making than it is annoying
