Britain's greatest religious historian chronicles the rise and rise of fundamentalism.

Reviews

'The quality of this remarkable book lies as much in its detail as in its sweeping vision' Daily Telegraph 'Armstrong displays all her usual talents: she has an eye for colourful evidence, a wonderful gift for clarity of exposition and an unerring sense of pace and voice and narrative.' Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, Literary Review 'A remarkable book...impressive clarity and drive' Scotland on Sunday
