Today's Wisdom From Karen Armstrong (feat. Saint Augustine)

"Saint Augustine, founder of the Western Christian tradition said that if a biblical text seems to teach hate and violence we have to give it an allegorical interpretation and make it speak charity even if this distorts the meaning of the original biblical author."


Karen Armstrong
Historian of Religion/ Creator of the Charter of Compassion
