From the archives: Karen Armstrong on ‘The Lost Art of Scripture’

From the archives: Karen Armstrong on ‘The Lost Art of Scripture’

The 2022 season of Talking Volumes launches this week with Karen Armstrong and her new book, “Sacred Nature: Restoring our Ancient Bond with the Natural World.” So we thought it only appropriate to make this week’s dip into the archives the last time Armstrong was on the Talking Volumes stage. It was in 2019, when she joined host Kerri Miller to discuss “The Lost Art of Scripture.”
