Steve Bruce draws on material from all over the world and from all religious traditions to explore the complex links between religion and politics. He shows that; while social; economic and political circumstances shape the political choices and actions of believers; religion still matters. Although the major world faiths have at times been associated with every conceivable political agenda; there remain important differences between Catholic; Protestant; Hindu; Jewish; Buddhist; Confucian; Shinto and Muslim politics.

This is one of the best - accurate; well researched and documented; well-written; interesting; and factual. This book is a good balance of some of the worst and best history of that time period. Slavery was one of the worst practices of our history. Many cultures have practiced slavery; including enslaving some of their own members; nothing makes it right. This book documents some of Lincoln's struggles as he strived to end slavery in America. As we know; his efforts cost him his life. Riveting book; highly recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy Betsy R. BochteVery thought provoking.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
