About This Book
The Beginning of Our Religious Traditions
From Karen Armstrong, the bestselling author of A History of God and The
Spiral Staircase, comes this extraordinary investigation of a critical
moment in the evolution of religious thought.In the ninth century BCE,
events in four regions of the civilized world led to the rise of
religious traditions that have endured to the present day--the
development of Confucianism and Daoism in China, Hinduism and Buddhism
in India, monotheism in Israel, and philosophical rationalism in Greece.
Armstrong, one of our most prominent religious scholars, examines how
these traditions began in response to the violence of their time.
Studying figures as diverse as the Buddha and Socrates, Confucius and
Jeremiah, Armstrong reveals how these still enduring philosophies can
help address our contemporary problems.
