World-renowned British religion writer and former nun Karen Armstrong has a new book called "The Spiral Staircase", which is a chronicle of her spiritual quest; from entering a convent at 17, to her time at Oxford university, and later as an author. She talks about fundamentalism and Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ". Her hope for all religions is that they can embrace compassion. (Originally aired March 2004)
