Karen Armstrong The Future of God Learn how the mystical God of our past reflects the God of our future – a vibrant, living presence available to all of us – on The Future of God. Karen Armstrong’s international bestseller, A History of God, has given us a window to the riches of monotheism as practiced through the ages by Jews, Christians, and Muslims. But what does tomorrow hold for the way we worship God? On this lucid audio session, Armstrong guides us through a bewildering landscape, over many centuries and civilizations, to show how our concept of God has evolved with the passage of time – from a mystical, accessible presence capable of miracles to a dark and wrathful father image contrived by church patriarchs. On The Future of God, Armstrong suggests ways that prayer, imagination, and silence can help everyone on the spiritual path today enter the mystery within our depths and recognize God in ourselves and others. The Future of God is an inspiring event that takes us to the past, present, and future! of our deepest spiritual yearnings.
