In this study, Karen Armstrong, a specialist in the history of culture and religions, explores the roots and development of fundamentalism in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Armstrong analyzes the relationships between the three monotheisms and progress, showing how the return to the 'original foundations' is a response to the challenges and anxieties imposed by rationalism and science.
Karen Armstrong is a British author and commentator known for her books on comparative religion. A former Roman Catholic religious sister, she went from a conservative to a more liberal and mystical Christian faith. She attended St Anne's College, Oxford, while in the convent and graduated in English. She left the convent in 1969. Her work focuses on commonalities of the major religions, such as the importance of compassion and the Golden Rule.
