![Terror in the Mind of God - The Global Rise of Religious Violence Updated Edition with a New Preface (REV 01) by Juergensmeyer, Mark [Paperback (2001)]](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstorage.googleapis.com%2Fmenrva_img_storage%2Fcovers%2F9780195657159.jpg&w=750&q=85)
Beneath the histories of religious traditions-from Biblical wars to crusading ventures and great acts of martyrdom-violence has lurked as a shadowy presence. Images of death have never been far from the heart of religion's power to stir the imagination. In this wide-ranging and erudite book, Mark Juergensmeyer asks one of the most important and perplexing questions of our age: why do religious people commit violent acts in the name of their god, taking the lives of innocent victims and terrorizing entire populations?
