This volume offers a nuanced picture of the details of specific
instances of religion and politics in Muslim, Jewish, Christian,
Buddhist, and Hindu contexts (some geographical, some thematic),
broadly presenting the phenomenon of religion and politics via
country and thematic case studies. Qualitative, quantitative,
material, philosophical, and theological analyses draw upon social
theory to show how (and why) religion matters deeply in each time
and place. The authors and contributors demonstrate that religion
is a significant force that drives societies and polities around
the world, and that a radical change in the Western understanding
of value-driven global politics is needed. It offers new local
voices that many Western audiences have not yet heard. The essays
in this volume suggest the need for an appreciation of Divinity as
a quintessence holding a significant place in the hearts, minds,
social orders, and political organization of polities around the
world.
