Karen Armstrong (born 14
November 1944 in Wildmoor, Worcestershire) is a British author of
numerous works on comparative religion, who first rose to prominence
with her highly successful A History
of God.
A former Catholic nun, she asserts that "All the great traditions
are saying the same thing in much the same way, despite their
surface differences." They each have in common, she says, an
emphasis upon the overriding importance of compassion, as expressed
by way of the Golden Rule: Do not
do to others what you would not have done to you.
