Islam by Karen Armstrong
Traces how Islam grew from the other religions of the book, Judaism and Christianity. This book introduces us to the character of Muhammed and demonstrates that for much of its history, the religion has been a force for enlightenment that promoted liberties for women and allowed the arts and sciences to flourish.
Karen Armstrong spent seven years as a Roman Catholic nun, an experience she recollected in her two volumes of best-selling autobiography, Through the Narrow Gate and Beginning the World. More recently, she was the author of the worldwide best-seller, A History of God (which has now appeared in more than thirty languages) and the highly acclaimed History of Jerusalem. She is a teacher at the Leo Baeck College for the Study of Judaism and an Honorary Member of the Association of Muslim Social Scientists.
