This book relates some of the major trends within religion and
politics to offer a historical framework with which to assess their
interactions and a point of departure for studies to come. The
study of the interrelationship between contemporary religious
practice and modern politics is divided between several scholarly
disciplines, all embracing different terminologies as well as
multiple theoretical and philosophical premises. Such diversity of
perspectives is to be welcomed, but it can inhibit the ability of
academics to form a cohesive and coherent dialogue around the
subject. While critically assessing the historic, sociological,
political, theological and anthropological aspects of religion and
politics, the book demonstrates the crucial importance of
recognising the capitalist economy as the framework for
understanding their dynamic relationship. Moreover, it claims that
humanism is the proper lens through which to critically engage with
religion in society and must be the favoured point of departure for
any study within the field. This book offers a unique overarching
viewpoint for of all these divergent scholarly trends and
traditions. As such, it will be of significant use to academics in
religious studies, political science, sociology and anthropology.
