In The Name of God

Why are the post-Christian and the Islamic worlds as tolerant or intolerant as they are? Drawing on history and literature, the author of And Man Created God looks at the interlinked histories of the Muslim, Christian and Jewish faiths, persecutors and persecuted, offering an essential guide to understanding religion today. Selina O’Grady was a producer on the BBC1 series Heart of the Matter, presented by Joan Bakewell.
