Published in 1991, 'The Revenge of God' analyzes the ideological foundations and methods of action of fundamentalist groups within the three monotheistic religions. This book examines how these groups try to seize power or infiltrate community networks. Gilles Kepel's work has proven to be a seminal text for understanding the proliferation of fundamentalisms and the challenge they represent to democratic societies.
