I picked up once before on Karen Armstrong as a TED speaker; a breath of fresh air in the God vs Science fundamentalist debates. I bough a copy of her “The Case For God” yesterday and just started reading.
Yep, she’s good. She lumps Ditchkins (Dawkins / Hitchens) and Harris together but Dennett is listed separately. Thank god for people with imagination, says this atheist.
Glad you’re reading this. Here’s my (very short) review of it, along with Rebecca Goldstein’s “36 Arguments for the Existence of God: a work of fiction” book. I’d be interested in your thoughts on these when you have time. Thanks, Marde.

Very good read so far …. just 3 or 4 chapters in, good historical summaries (as one would expect from her credentials). I’ll not read your review until after I’ve finished, but thanks for the link.
