About Karen Armstrong
British author and commentator on religion, born 1944
Karen Armstrong is a British author and commentator on religion. Born in 1944, she is known for her books on comparative religion and for writing from the standpoint of a former Catholic religious sister. She studied English at St Anne's College, Oxford, while still in the convent, and left religious life in 1969. Her work returns often to what the major faiths share, especially compassion and the Golden Rule, and to the movement in her own Christian life from a conservative beginning toward a more liberal and mystical outlook.
