“在当今世界，没有哪种宗教像 Islam 那样遭受恐惧与误解。在西方大众的想象中，它常被视作一种鼓吹专制政府、压迫女性、引发内战及恐怖主义的极端信仰。Karen Armstrong 的简史为这种狭隘的偏见提供了一剂至关重要的矫正良方。作为对多年思考与书写 Islam 之结晶，本书表明，这个全球增长最快的信仰是一个远比其现代原教旨主义分支所展现的要更加丰富且复杂的现象。”——BOOK JACKET。

And for Islam, I recommend Karen Armstrong’s “Islam: A Short History”. This book gives context to Muhammad as a Man in addition to the influential religion he adapted/created (for most major religions are adaptations,…
……没用。我又不想给自己做外科手术。我最近读了 Karen Armstrong 的《A History of God》，讲的是宗教的演变以及基督教、犹太教、伊斯兰教、印度教和佛教中各种神秘主义传统。这本书非常有意思，她提出的一个观点是，历史上有很多尝试神秘主义体验却最终陷入疯狂的例子。那……
…useless. I wouldn't want to perform surgery on myself. I recently read "A History of God" by Karen Armstrong, which covers the evolution of religion and various mystical traditions in Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. It's a really interesting book and one of the points she brings up is that there are many historical examples of attempts at mystical experimentation that end in madness. The…
