-Because "God" is infinite, nobody can have the last word-
What is this thing, religion, supposedly the cause of bloodshed and warring for centuries? What is -God- and do we need -Him- in our modern world? Karen Armstrong looks again at these questions in a refreshing and startling way. God is not to be -believed in- as a child believes in Santa Claus; religion is not a story to be proven true or false, but a discipline akin to music or art that answers a deeply human need, and can teach us to discover new capacities of mind and heart.
