The Case For God by Karen Armstrong

A wide-ranging historical and philosophical exploration of how conceptions of the divine have evolved, arguing that modern debates often misunderstand religious traditions; it traces the shift from ritual and mystical experience to literalist belief and scientific critique, critiques both fundamentalism and reductionist atheism, and proposes recovering contemplative practice and a nuanced, symbolic understanding of God to restore ethical and spiritual depth to contemporary life.
