Book Review:
''A fascinating journey... a beautifully written book.'' – The New York Times Book Review. The Tenth Parallel – the line of latitude 700 miles north of the equator – is a geographical and ideological front line where Christianity and Islam collide. More than half of the world's 1.6 billion Muslims and 60% of the world's 2 billion Christians live along this line. Award-winning journalist Eliza Griswold demonstrates that these religious conflicts are also clashes over land, water, oil, and other resources. Most urgently, she reveals that the greatest religious struggles are within, not between, religions. An essential work on conflicts over faith and nationhood that will remake our world. Winner of the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize.
