The Bible: A Biography by Karen Armstrong
4.0
I finally finished it! Due to real life interruptions it has taken me a very long time to get through this book. Each time I had to restart it I needed to go back and get a running start again.
Nevertheless. What a helpful piece of literary material. Armstrong has been one of my favorite authors for years because of her unique angle into christian theology. The best part about the book was her continued threads of Judaism even as she continues to follow with the Christian narrative.
This book is not for everyone. A novice in theology is going to want to wait until they have some more foundational books under their belt before attempting this one. Armstrong goes at a fairly clippy pace and covers a vast space of knowledge.
