Karen Armstrong: What is Religion? by Karen Armstrong on Free Online Video

In her talk "What is Religion", Armstrong fights a thunderstorm to address how the differing definitions of "faith" have led to unnecessary tension between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. She describes how in many cases, misinterpretations have led to the pervasive idea that God's laws are set in stone and cannot be altered. Quite the contrary, Armstrong points to how many notable Rabbi, Christian luminaries, and Muslim holy men have used God's word as a living message that must always be interpreted in light of the current human condition. This take on belief as a transformative, constantly evolving dialogue between man and his creator forms the core of Armstrong's ongoing message of tolerance between faith traditions. For Armstrong, belief is not something you accept blindly, it's something you use as a tool towards self-transcendence.
