The sacred texts have been co-opted by fundamentalists, who insist that they must be taken literally, and by others who interpret scripture to bolster their own prejudices. These texts are seen to prescribe ethical norms and codes of behavior that are divinely ordained: they are believed to contain eternal truths. But as Karen Armstrong shows in this chronicle of the development and significance of major religions, such a narrow, peculiar reading of scripture is a relatively recent, modern phenomenon. For most of their history, the world's religious traditions have regarded these texts as tools that enable the individual to connect with the divine, to experience a different level of consciousness, and to help them engage with the world in more meaningful and compassionate ways.","brand":"Anchor Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48010896375997,"sku":"BS-TC0-431923","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/9767\/2637\/files\/9780525431923-HD.jpg?v=1786941718"},{"product_id":"escaping-from-eden-does-genesis-teach-that-the-human-race-was-created-by-god-or-engineered-by-ets","title":"Escaping from Eden: Does Genesis Teach That the Human Race Was Created by God or Engineered by Ets?","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e'This generation's 'Chariots of the Gods'', \u003c\/i\u003eGeorge Noory, Coast to Coast AM\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe familiar stories of the book of Genesis affirm that God made the universe, planet earth, and you and me.
