“An important contribution to the fields of holocaust studies, sociology, and psychology.”—David Blumenthal, Emory University
“This highly readable book is indisputably an important work, bound to be of great interest to readers within academia and outside it. It addresses questions that loom ever larger in our day, when inter-group strife and violence seem to be accelerating, and religion’s role grows increasingly conspicuous and ambiguous. And the interweaving of qualitative and quantitative data is masterfully carried out.”—David Wulff, Wheaton College, Norton, Massachusetts
