Katherine Villyard reviewed A history of God by Karen Armstrong
Review of 'A history of God' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
According to Karen Armstrong (and I agree), monotheism has an inbuilt tension between a transcendent God who isn't very approachable (or even comprehensible) and a personal God who can be human, all too human. Armstrong describes the pendulum swings between the two extremes throughout history. The prose in this book is very dense and the chapters are long, but it's well worth the effort.
