- Additional information
- This book explores the death and curious afterlife of religious belief in an epoch of both secularism and religious fundamentalism. From the Enlightenment to 9/11, from Marxism to Islamism and from Nietzsche to Richard Dawkins and the New Atheists, Eagleton not only surveys the modern fate of religion but reveals the radical political, indeed revolutionary, kernel at the heart of Christianity. In the period since its publication, the book has been widely and extensively reviewed in the Guardian, Independent and New Statesman amongst many other outlets.
