The case for God
Believing in God may be difficult, but thinking and talking about Him/Her/It? - should be easy, right? Think again, writes Karen Armstrong in "The Case for God." Battling both hardcore atheism and fundamentalist believers' literal interpretation of scripture, Armstrong sets out in search of Augustine's elusive God, not the personified "He" who comes to bless our nations and picnics.
