What Religion Really Means
by Karen Armstrong · 2009 · 432 pages

Cal Newport
Karen Armstrong explores the history of religious perception from the Paleolithic era to the present, focusing on the concepts of mythos and logos. She argues that religion was historically a practical discipline and ritual experience rather than a system of literal beliefs. The book examines how the modern shift toward scientific rationality has reshaped contemporary debates between theism and atheism.
