Following the polytheism of the ancient civilizations of the Egyptians, Hittites and Babylonians, Jewish monotheism was born as a theology of protest, as a religion of triumph within defeat. While the religion of the Jews remained limited to their own people, Christianity unfolded its message with proclamations of universal truth. Islam raised this universalism to a new level through a military and political mode of expansion.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSloterdijk examines the forms of conflict that arise between the three monotheisms by analyzing the basic possibilities stemming from anti-Paganism, anti-Judaism, anti-Islamism and anti-Christianism. These possibilities were augmented by internal rifts: a defining influence within Judaism was a separatism with defensive aspects, in Christianity the project of expansion through mission, and in Islam the Holy War.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eDedication page vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The premises 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The formations 19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 The battle fronts 40\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 The campaigns 50\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 The matrix 82\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 The pharmaka 105\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 The parables of the ring 122\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 After-zeal 150\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 161\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Religion \u0026amp; beliefs [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Religion \u0026amp; beliefs\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Religion%20\u0026amp;%20beliefs%20%5BHR%5D%22\"\u003eHR\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407312253208,"sku":"9780745645063","price":45.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745645063.jpg?v=1784160840","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/gods-zeal-the-battle-of-the-three-monotheisms-hardback-9780745645063","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
