Based on interviews and case studies involving movements from several faith traditions, he examines how perpetrators understand cosmic conflict, sacrifice and moral duty. Rather than reducing extremism to simple fanaticism, the book considers the social and political conditions that make sacred violence compelling to its participants. Thought-provoking and wide-ranging, this study offers essential context for readers seeking to understand terrorism, religious nationalism and the symbolic power of violence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48642522611924,"sku":"TVJ-030635","price":9.2,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-030635-1.jpeg?v=1788920498","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/terror-in-the-mind-of-god-the-global-rise-of-religious-violence-by-mark-juergensmeyer","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
