An Evening with Karen Armstrong



Ever since I read "A History of God" by Karen Armstrong many moons ago, I became a fan of her towering intellect & erudition. Most scholars tend to engage their audience in a "know-it-all" manner which I personally despise, but Karen Armstrong drops all pretensions and speaks to us with clarity, humility & compassion which many public intellectuals are in dire need of. Check the question & answer segment at the end of this brilliant speech.
