'This bold new theory also shows how the First World War changed the world's "religious map" and in doing so paved the way for a "worldwide spiritual revolution."' The Bookseller "Jenkins is especially instructive on its [WW1's] consequences for the world's - not simply Europe's religions." WALL STREET JOURNAL "A historical tour de force... We must know the past in order to understand the present. Jenkins's penetrating study of World War I masterfully underscores that abstract truth." CHRISTIANITY TODAY "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 "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!"
