Teachings with Karen Armstrong

Karen Armstrong is one of the world’s leading commentators on religious affairs. She is a best-selling author, whose books have been translated into forty languages. Her early work focused on the monotheistic faiths of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, but she has since begun to explore the eastern religions. Her work is scholarly but written for the general reader, and has been appreciated not only by western audiences but by Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus.  Some of her books include: Through the Narrow Gate, an autobiographical work; The Gospel According to Woman; Holy War, The Crusades and their Impact on Today’s World; Muhammad, A Biography of the Prophet; A History of God; Jerusalem, One City, Three Faiths; and In the Beginning, The Battle for God, A History of Fundamentalism.
