About This Item
Hodder & Stoughton, London, 2020. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good. Acknowledgements, notes and bibliography. Photographic paperback binding with blue and pale pink coloured titles to the front panel and back strip. "Despite predictions of continuing secularism, the twenty-first century has witnessed a surge of religious extremism and violence in the name of God. In this powerful and timely book, Jonathan Sacks explores the roots of violence and its relationship to religion, focusing on the historic tensions between three Abrahamic faiths, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Drawing on arguments from evolutionary psychology, game theory, history, philosophy, ethics and theology, Sacks shows how a tendency to violence can subvert even the most compassionate of religions." – from rear panel blurb.
