Recensione:

"Witty, informative, and contemplative; Ms. Armstrong can simplify complex ideas, but she is never simplistic."--The New York Times Book Review.

"Provocative...Karen Armstrong has strong ecumenical credentials.  One of the delights of her book is her exploration of some relatively unfamiliar pathways to God."--Time.
