Jenkins’s penetrating study of World War I masterfully underscores that abstract truth.” * CHRISTIANITY TODAY *\u003cbr\u003e“A fascinating book in which Jenkins convincingly argues that we cannot understand the war without understanding religion… Jenkins summons academic evidence without sacrificing readability. It is hard to read for more than a few pages without being fascinated or surprised. In particular, he does a rigorous job of showing how many of today’s disputes are rooted to varying degrees in the First World War.” * Third Way *\u003cbr\u003e“A work of the highest academic standard… written in such a way as to be highly accessible. It is a book of tremendous range and interest. Fascinating reading. Highly recommended!” * Pobl Dewi, Diocese of St Davids. *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Maps vii\u003cbr\u003eA Note About Terminology ix\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: From Angels to Armageddon 1\u003cbr\u003eONE The Great War: The Age of Massacre 29\u003cbr\u003eTWO God’s War: Chris tian Nations, Holy Warfare, and the Kingdom of God 63\u003cbr\u003eTHREE Witnesses for Christ: Cosmic War, Sacrifi ce, and Martyrdom 87\u003cbr\u003eFOUR The Ways of God: Faith, Heresy, and Superstition 109\u003cbr\u003eFIVE The War of the End of the World: Visions of the Last Days 135\u003cbr\u003eSIX Armageddon: Dreams of Apocalypse in the War’s Savage Last Year 163\u003cbr\u003eSEVEN The Sleep of Religion: Europe’s Crisis and the Rise of Secular Messiahs 189\u003cbr\u003eEIGHT The Ruins of Christendom: Reconstructing Chris tian Faith at the End of the Age 217\u003cbr\u003eNINE A New Zion: The Crisis of European Judaism and the Vision of a New World 235\u003cbr\u003eTEN Those from Below: The Spiritual Liberation of the World’s Subject Peoples 269\u003cbr\u003eELEVEN Genocide: The Destruction of the Oldest Chris tian World 287\u003cbr\u003eTWELVE African Prophets: How New Churches and New Hopes Arose Outside Europe 315\u003cbr\u003eTHIRTEEN Without a Caliph: The Muslim Quest for a Godly Political Order 333\u003cbr\u003eConclusion 367\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments 379\u003cbr\u003eIllustration Credits 381\u003cbr\u003eNotes 383\u003cbr\u003eIndex 419\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SPCK Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48736487244119,"sku":"9780745956732","price":10.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780745956732.jpg?v=1723810674","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-great-and-holy-war-9780745956732","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
