The critically acclaimed, best-selling author of A History of God examines the origins and history of the religious traditions of the world during the ninth century B.C.E. Axial Age in four distinct regions of the world--Confucianism and Daoism in China, Hinduism and Buddhism in India, monotheism in Israel, and philosophical rationalism in Greece. Reader's Guide available. Reprint. 65,000 first printing.

Annotation

Religion writer Karen Armstrong provides an accessible, comparative study of the sources of several religious and philosophical traditions that have had a great influence on civilization over several centuries. Armstrong shows how, around the same time, in the ninth century BCE, several original, and somewhat revolutionary, world views emerged in China, India, the Middle East, and Greece. These were expressed in Daoism and Confucianism; in Buddhism and Hinduism; in monotheism; and in philosophical rationalism. As she did in previous bestsellers, Armstrong provides an engaging account of the people and ideas behind these traditions, as she explores their shared view that compassion is a higher ideal than violence. Armstrong suggests that we need to reconnect to, an find the original clarity within, these powerful traditions.
