Description:

This groundbreaking contribution to Cold War scholarship established that there was a significant religious dimension to the Cold War and that it mattered. These essays are profound explorations of the longstanding and varied relationships of religious institutions with temporal power, which is sustained by claims to command life's purpose.

Synopsis:

Although seen widely as the twentieth-century's great religious war, as a conflict between the god-fearing and the godless, the religious dimension of the Cold War has never been subjected to a scholarly critique. This unique study shows why religion is a key Cold War variable. A specially commissioned collection of new scholarship, it provides fresh insights into the complex nature of the Cold War. It has profound resonance today with the resurgence of religion as a political force in global society.
