Politics and the Religious Imagination is the product of a group of
interdisciplinary scholars each analyzing the connections between
religious narratives and the construction of regional and global
politics, combining a set of theoretical and philosophic insights
with several case studies that represent varied geographies and
religious customs. The past decade has seen increasing interest in
the links between religion and politics, and this edited volume
seeks to take religion seriously as a motivator of action. Few
studies have attempted to bring together the multi-disciplinary
work in this burgeoning field of study and this work takes a global
perspective, using a variety of contexts including East-West
relations to analyze the following key themes: the constructive and
destructive hermeneutics of religious stories the relevance and
importance of religion as a dominant political narrative the rise
of new stories among groups as agents of change the way that
religious narratives help to define and constrain the Other the
manipulation of religious stories for political benefit This work
argues that it is insufficient to judge the relationship of
religion and politics through mere institutional or quantitative
lenses, and this collection proves that while this promise of the
narrative part of the social imaginary has been recognized in
political theory to a certain extent, its influence in the realm of
empirical political science has yet to be fully considered.
Combining the work of a wide range of experts, this collection will
be of great interests to scholars of politics, philosophy,
religious studies, and the literary influence of religion.
