The Case for God

A signed 2009 first edition of The Case for God by Karen Armstrong, issued in hardcover with dust jacket by Alfred A. Knopf Canada. This Canadian edition carries ISBN 978-0-307-39743-0. The copyright page states First Edition, but the supplied view does not establish the printing.

Armstrong presents a wide-ranging intellectual history of humanity’s attempts to understand and speak about God, moving from early religious cultures through classical and monotheistic traditions to modern fundamentalism and atheism. The book emphasizes the historical importance of religious practice, myth, symbolism, and recognition of the limits of purely rational language about the divine.

Flat signed by Karen Armstrong on the title page beneath her printed name, without a visible inscription or recipient’s name. The dust jacket retains a McNally Robinson “Autographed Copy” sticker.

Very Good condition as graded by the seller, with light external edge and corner wear visible in the photographs. The book has deckled fore-edge pages, and the dust jacket is now protected in a removable clear plastic cover.
