The Battle For God: Fundamentalism in Judaism, Christianity and Islam [Paperback] Armstrong, Karen

**The Battle For God: Fundamentalism in Judaism, Christianity and Islam - Karen Armstrong**

Ever wondered why religious fundamentalism keeps popping up like that one relative at family gatherings? Karen Armstrong, one of our most brilliant religious scholars (and former nun turned religious historian), tackles this head-scratcher with her trademark wit and insight.

This isn't your typical dry theology textbook. Armstrong traces how fundamentalism emerged in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as a modern response to rapid social change and scientific advancement. She argues that fundamentalism isn't actually ancient tradition gone rogue, but rather a distinctly modern phenomenon born from anxiety about losing religious identity in our secular world.

Perfect for anyone curious about religion, politics, history buffs, or those trying to understand today's headlines without falling asleep. Armstrong makes complex theological concepts accessible without dumbing them down.

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks shows gentle wear but remains completely readable.
