But convent life had profoundly altered her, and coping with the outside world and her expiring faith proved to be excruciating.

ISBN: 9780812966183 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. No religion in the modern world is as feared and misunderstood as Islam.

In a vital revision of this narrow view of Islam and a distillation of years of thinking and writing about the subject, Karen Armstrong s short history demonstrates that the world s fastest-growing faith is a much more complex phenomenon than its modern fundamentalist strain might suggest."

What is this thing, religion, which has supposedly been the cause of bloodshed and warring for centuries? What is ‘God’ and do we need ‘Him’ in our modern world? Karen Armstrong, bestselling author and one of the world’s leading writers on religious affairs, has a refreshing and startling way of looking again at these questions. God is not a being to be ‘believed in’ as a child believes in Santa Claus; religion is not a story to be proven true or false, but a discipline akin to music or art that answers a... ‘Because ‘God’ is infinite, nobody can have the last word.’
