Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Karen Armstrong's narration in 'The Lost Art of Scripture' is a revelation—she infuses her own rich history with religious studies into every sentence. Her deep, measured voice is both soothing and authoritative, making it easy to follow her insightful journey through sacred texts. The book delves deeply into the misinterpretations that have arisen from scripture, particularly in contemporary political discourse. Armstrong's critique of using religious texts for hate and division resonates powerfully, but occasionally feels a bit on-the-nose. Despite this minor critique, the audiobook remains a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of faith’s role in today’s world.
