Series Statement:
The future of the religious past
Content:
Dealing with the nexus of religion and power, this volume undermines the idea that the political relevance of religion is a thing of the past. Its essays treat power as a central aspect of religion on many levels, from that of macro-politics through the links between religion and nationhood to the level of personal empowerment
