"Great War, Religious Dimensions" by Bobby Wintermute is a concise and informative book that explores the role of religion in World War I. The author focuses on the responses of established religious institutions in major combatant nations, highlighting their alliance with state power and their promotion of patriotic tribalism. The book also examines the eschatological thinking that emerged during the war, as well as the challenges faced by religious minorities such as Jews and Muslims. Wintermute provides a glimpse into the individual experiences of soldiers in the trenches and concludes with a brief discussion of the long-term effects of the war on faith and religion. While the book may not provide a comprehensive analysis of each faith tradition or geographical locale, it offers valuable insights and serves as a useful introduction to the topic.
