A nuanced exploration of the part that religion plays in human life, drawing on the insights of the past in order to build a faith that speaks to the needs of our dangerously polarized age. Moving from the Paleolithic age to the present, Karen Armstrong details the great lengths to which humankind has gone in order to experience a sacred reality that it called by many names, such as God, Brahman, Nirvana, Allah, or Dao. Focusing especially on Christianity but including Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Chinese spiritualities, Armstrong examines the diminished impulse toward religion in our own time, when a significant number of people either want nothing to do with God or question the efficacy of faith. Why has God become unbelievable? Why is it that atheists and theists alike now think and speak about God in a way that veers so profoundly from the thinking of our ancestors? Answering these questions with the same depth of knowledge and profound insight that have marked all her acclaimed books, Armstrong makes clear how the changing face of the world has necessarily changed the importance of religion at both the societal and the individual level. Yet she cautions us that religion was never supposed to provide answers that lie within the competence of human reason; that, she says, is the role of logos. The task of religion is "to help us live creatively, peacefully, and even joyously with realities for which there are no easy explanations." She emphasizes, too, that religion will not work automatically. It is, she says, a practical discipline: its insights are derived not from abstract speculation but from "dedicated intellectual endeavor" and a "compassionate lifestyle that enables us to break out of the prism of selfhood."Binding Type: Paperback

Stopped working in 4 months
Color: Black
It’s hard to find a whisker that has good reviews. I was hopeful with this one because I wanted multiple attachments and speeds. When I received it I was close to returning it because the attachments were hard to take off and very fragile. I should have returned it at that point because 4 months later Ive missed the return window. I did not use often and if I did it would have broken sooner. All of the sudden it stopped spinning. I recharged it overnight and it didn’t help. Of the three speeds, non work except the middle speed that spins at a wonky pace, and turns off randomly. It’s garbage.

Good mixer and good customer service!
Color: Black
We were really enjoying this frother, one day it turned on and smoked a little and wouldn’t turn off; we contacted the seller and they sent a replacement immediately, had it within a week! Very good customer service.

Works good but have only tried it on fine setting.
Works good but should have an overall cap as seasoning gathers around the inside.
