About This Item
By Karen Armstrong, 1st ed. Condition very good, minor wear on jacket. No religion in the modern world is as feared and misunderstood as Islam, seen as an extreme faith that promotes authoritarian government, female oppression, civil war, and terrorism. The author's short history of Islam is a vital corrective to this stereotype. Her book demonstrates clearly how ideas of social justice and compassion are, and always have been, central to the Islamic world-view.
Synopsis
Karen Armstrong is one of the world's foremost scholars on religious affairs. She is the author of several bestselling books, including The Battle for God, Jerusalem, The History of God, and Through the Narrow Gate, a memoir of her seven years as a nun. She lives in London.
