Analyses the age-old links between religion and violence perpetrated in the name of God, and the role religion performs in politically infusing the state with romantic spiritualism. The volume examines instances of this phenomenon from ancient Rome to the modern day, and it finds that religion-inspired violence is not restricted to Abrahamic faiths or to one geographic region.
