Blending history, sociology and spirituality, Armstrong offers a compelling and compassionate study of a radical form of religious expression that is critically shaping the course of world history. Says The New York Times, "One of the most penetrating, readable, and prescient accounts of the fundamentalist movements in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam."

A former nun, and a leading biblical and spiritual scholar, Armstrong in eight short chapters examines 2,000 years of biblical interpretation, exploring its conception, gestation and life of one of history's most powerful books.
