Why has the turn of the twenty-first century been rocked by a new
religious rebellion? From al Qaeda to Christian militias to
insurgents in Iraq, a strident new religious activism has seized
the imaginations of political rebels around the world. Building on
his groundbreaking book, "The New Cold War?: Religious Nationalism
Confronts the Secular State, "Mark Juergensmeyer here provides an
up-to-date road map through this complex new religious terrain.
Basing his discussion on interviews with militant activists and
case studies of rebellious movements, Juergensmeyer puts a human
face on conflicts that have become increasingly abstract. He
revises our notions of religious revolution and offers positive
proposals for responding to religious activism in ways that will
diminish the violence and lead to an accommodation between radical
religion and the secular world.
