Book Synopsis
Differences among religious communities have motivated - and continue to motivate - many of the deadliest conflicts in human history. But how did political power and organized religion become so thoroughly intertwined? This book focuses on the big three monotheisms - Judaism, Islam, and Christianity - to consider such questions.

Trade Review
"Iyigun has written a fascinating and detail-rich book on the links between religion, economic growth, and conflict over a broad swath of history. War, Peace, and Prosperity in the Name of God will appeal to scholars in a number of fields, including history, political economy, and religious studies, as well as being of interest to the broader public intrigued by the historical origins of differences in modern-day development." (Jacob N. Shapiro, Princeton University)
