Praise
“The time is ripe for a book like The Case for God, which wraps a rebuke to the more militant sort of atheism in an engaging survey of Western religious thought.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Armstrong’s argument is prescient, for it reflects the most important shifts occurring in the religious landscape.” —Newsweek
“The Case for God is Armstrong’s most concise and practical-minded book yet: a historical survey of hwo rather than what we believe, where we lost the “knack” of religion and what we need to do to get it back.” —Ode
“In over a dozen books [Armstrong] has delivered something people badly want: a way to acknowledge that faith can be taken seriously as a response to deep human yearnings without needing to subscribe to the formality of organized belief.” —The Economist
“Armstrong is ambitious. The Case for God is an entire semester at college packed into a single book—a voluminous, dizzying intellectual history. . . . Reading The Case for God, I felt smarter. . . . A stimulating, hopeful work. After I finished it, I felt inspired, I stopped, and I looked up at the stars again. And I wondered what could be.” —NPR’s “All Things Considered”
“Challenging, intelligent, and illuminating—especially for anyone reflecting on current discussions of atheism, often characterized as conflict between religion and science.” —Elaine Pagels, co-author of Reading Judas: The Gospel of Judas and the Shaping of Christianity
