Focusing on the interplay between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, this historical work by Susan Jacoby explores the social and economic forces influencing faith and conversion throughout Western history. It highlights significant events such as the rise of Christianity, the Spanish Inquisition, and the impact of individual converts, including Augustine and Muhammad Ali. Jacoby argues that the struggle for reason is deeply tied to the freedom to choose one's belief or to reject belief entirely, underscoring the profound effects of faith on society.
