Which members of the U.S. military top brass have fought to employ them? Which world leader belongs to a secret messianic society called the Hojjatieh? What is the Chalcedon Foundation? And what is the correlation between its tenets, those of sharia law, and the fulfillment of end-time prophecies? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe answers to these questions and others will intrigue, mystify, and enrage you, whether you're a person of faith or a staunch secularist. But the author's goal is not simply to shock the reader—it is to help diffuse the time bomb that has been set by the hard-liners of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In the end, Baigent asks these questions to deliver an urgent message: that spiritual yearning is actually a deep and personal issue of awareness, one that can bring hope and tolerance to the world, rather than the self-superiority and control that are born of fear and conflict. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperOne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44889160253669,"sku":"NP9780061363184","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780061363184.jpg?v=1730230647","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/racing-toward-armageddon-the-three-great-religions-and-the-plot-to-end-the-world-isbn-9780061363184","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
