Sacred Violence: Religious Wars, Atrocities & the Struggle for Power
Throughout history, wars have been fought in the name of God, but religion was rarely the only force behind the bloodshed. Sacred Violence investigates religious wars, massacres, persecution, and the political ambitions that fueled them, examining who initiated the conflicts, how each side justified its actions, and what the historical evidence actually reveals. From the Crusades and the Inquisition to forgotten religious uprisings and devastating civil wars, we explore the intersection of faith, power, warfare, and human psychology—challenging historical myths while distinguishing established facts from competing interpretations.
