About the book

Differences among religious communities have motivated, and continue to motivate, many of the deadliest conflicts in human history. But how did political power and organised religion become so thoroughly intertwined? And how have religion and religiously motivated conflicts affected the evolution of societies throughout history, from demographic and socio-political change to economic growth? This title turns the focus on the 'big three monotheisms', Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, to consider these questions.
