'Paul’s Letters to The Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Thessalonians & The Epistles of Timothy': Timothy West reads 'Paul’s Letters to The Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Thessalonians', and Denis Quilley reads his two 'Letters to Timothy'. Specially composed music is included. The readings were part of BBC Radio 4's series of 341 daily episodes of the Bible, broadcast in 1991 and 1992. Abridged by Anthony Kearey. 'The New Testament': These abridged readings of the New Testament are taken from the 1989 Revised English Bible, which was translated directly from the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek into modern English to produce a Bible that was at once accessible and authoritative.

Reviews

This is the most fascinating and learned survey of the biggest wild-goose chase in history - the quest for God. Karen Armstrong is a genius

—— A.N. Wilson

A splendidly readable book...the stage is set for the question: has God a future?

—— Sister Wendy Beckett , Sunday Times

We are all watching a daily fight between the darkness and light. What we want, but may never get, is assurance that the light will prevail. Armstrong is too tough a thinker to offer us comfort there

—— Anthony Burgess , Observer

Armstrong shows a reverent curiosity and a generosity of spirit, refreshing the understanding of what one knows and providing a clear introduction to the unfamiliar

—— Rt Revd Robert Runcie , Daily Telegraph

Witty, informative and contemplative: Ms Armstrong can simplify complex ideas, but she is never simplistic

—— New York Times Book Review

Only those who think they know it all will fail to be fascinated by Armstrong's search for God

—— Economist

Highly readable, and ought to be read

—— Anthony Burgess , Observer

Armstrong's book has great merits. An ex-nun, this formidably intelligent woman knows enough about both Judaism and Islam to be appreciated by Jewish and Muslim scholars... Whenever she deals with Christian mysticims, agnosticism and heterodoxy, Armstrong offers valuable insights

—— The Times

An enormously intellectually challenging book. A fascinating way of approaching the subject

—— Rabbi Julia Neuberger
