A History of God

Hello, hello, Homo legens!

According to Karen Armstrong, the history of God is the history of humankind and, thus, we ought to know about it. As a non-believer and a staunch advocate for an anti-dogmatic life, I find myself wondering: will this book offer anything valuable to me?

What enticed me about this book is that the author approaches her research as an observer, consciously avoiding taking sides. But I’ll be honest, this is not my kind of reading. In fact, I failed my GCSE in Religious Studies, my teacher—a priest—was a moron who unjustly failed me because I dared to confront him about his questionable teachings. Do you want to know what he taught? Come to the book discussion and I’ll tell you all about it. Haha! I’m making this one exception to explore the history of human struggle—and, admittedly, to please Harry.
