What’s it about?

We've lost the ancient art of reading sacred texts—not as literal facts, but as transformative, ego-shattering works of art. Armstrong shows how to recover this practice for a more compassionate, less divided world.

You’ll learn

  • Scripture was never meant to be read literally
  • The ego is the main obstacle to spiritual insight
  • True reading requires self-emptying (kenosis)
  • Compassion is the ultimate test of interpretation
