In 'The Case for God,' Karen Armstrong provides a sweeping history of how humans have understood God, from the Paleolithic age to the present day. The book focuses on the evolution of religious thought, particularly within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as well as other spiritual traditions like Buddhism, Hinduism, and Chinese spiritualities. Armstrong distinguishes between *mythos* (myths and rituals) and *logos* (rational thought), arguing that modern religion has become overly entangled in logic and has strayed from its roots in 'unknowing.' She advocates for a return to the apophatic tradition, which emphasizes the transcendent and indefinable nature of God, accessible through spiritual practice and ritual rather than abstract belief. The book challenges conventional ideas of God and religion, urging a more nuanced and compassionate approach to faith in a polarized age[2][3][5].

Essays on the Great Depression
Ben S. Bernanke
In 'Essays on the Great Depression', Ben S. Bernanke compiles his influential work from the 1980s and 1990s on the financial and labor markets during the 1930s. The book examines the causes and consequences of the Great Depression, highlighting the role of the international gold standard, the contraction of world money supplies, and the responses of the US Federal Reserve. Bernanke argues that the Great Depression was significantly influenced by a 'deflationary vortex' of falling prices, output, and employment. The essays also discuss the economic recovery under Franklin Roosevelt's administration and the lasting impact of the Great Depression on macroeconomic policies and research agendas.
