Publisher's Note
From one of today's foremost commentators on religious affairs and the author of A History of God comes an insightful chronicle of the fundamentalist form of religion and the forces of modernism that have, paradoxically, brought it into existence. Read by the author. Book available.

Industry Reviews
"...Armstrong's fairness to each of her three religions is a hall mark of the book, as she bows and bend to do justice to their idiosyncrasies. Along the way, she also manages to be very illuminating."
Marty

"Whether or not you see fundamentalism as a threat, as Karen Armstrong does in THE BATTLE FOR GOD, hers is one of the most penetrating, readable and prescient accounts to date of the rise of the fundamentalist movements in Judaism, Christianity and Islam."
Hedges

"Armstrong is immensely learned, but there is a disproportion between evidence and analysis in her book."
McWilliams

"Armstrong succeeds - brilliantly - in placing fundamentalist movements in a historical context, showing how each is both a product of its times and typical of recurring trends....Armstrong, with her astonishing depth of knowledge and readily accessible writing style, makes an ideal guide in traversing a subject that is by its very nature complex, sensitive and frequently ambiguous. Her unwavering respect for the great faiths and their followers balances nicely with her apparent disdain for extremism in all its forms."
San Francisco Chronicle - David Lazarus (03/12/2000)

"In her new book [Armstrong] is coy about her ultimate convictions, although the reader may infer a practical agnosticism....So Ms. Armstrong finds herself on the horns of a dilemma: She recognizes the existence of deep religious impulses in man but refuses to validate any religious truth."
Wall Street Journal (03/08/2000)

"Karen Armstrong has a tough mind and a tender heart. She can tell a menace when she sees one, analyze it thoroughly and summarize it fairly. She belongs to the subjects' points of view rather than affecting dispassion."
Literary Review - Felipe Fernandez-Armesto (04/01/2000)
