The Great Transformation: The Beginning of Our Religious Traditions
For the Amazon listing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0375413170/sr=1-1/qid=1154430767/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-3253423-8451922?ie=UTF8&s=books
You can hear a copy of a media interview on the The Brian Lehrer Show on New York Public Radio at:
http://www.wnyc.org/shows/bl/episodes/2006/03/28
The interview is down the page a bit:
When the Buddha Met Ezekiel
Karen Armstrong, author, The Great Transformation (Knopf, 2006)
-on the foundation of the major world religious traditions
The interview was 28th March this year, and sounds like it was on the promotional tour for this new book.
This book appears to spell out the Axial Age (900-200BC) where the foundations for modern civilised behaviour emerged in 4 corners of the world spontaneously and separately, better than anywhere else.
