Review Of God's Century: Resurgent Religion And Global Politics

The novel God’s Century: Resurgent Religion and Global Politics, studies the connection between politics and religion, or as some may like to call it the separation between church and state.

I think that the supporting arguments in which the authors used on both sides of the author were extremely weak considering they did not account for things such as how new religions are forming, new ways of thinking are surfacing etc. The authors used the example of the 1945 Israel-Palestinian war is the main war checked and none of the fights since.
