Discover 'The Secular State Under Siege', a compelling exploration of the intricate relationship between religion and politics in the modern world. This brand new edition, published by John Wiley & Sons in 2015, dives into the historical and theoretical underpinnings that shape current debates surrounding secularism. It addresses the pressing issues raised by the resurgence of public religion in both Western Europe and North America, offering a nuanced analysis of the challenges faced by secular governance today.

In 'The Secular State Under Siege', author Joppke presents a rigorous examination of how Christianity and Islam interact with political authority and the implications of their conflicting ideologies. This 240-page book meticulously unravels the complexities of secularization, illustrating how it is uniquely tied to the historical development of Latin Christianity. It specifically highlights the phenomena of the Christian Right in America and the rise of Islamic claims within European societies, both of which challenge the established separation between state and religion.

Ideal for advanced students, researchers, and the intellectually curious, this volume is an essential resource for understanding the intersections of religion, law, and politics. Whether your interests lie in political theory, social sciences, or contemporary legal studies, this book will deepen your understanding of the secular state's vulnerabilities in the face of rising public religious sentiments.

Description:


Throughout human history, religion and politics have entertained the most intimate of connections as systems of authority regulating individuals and society. While the two have come apart through the process of secularization, secularism is challenged today by the return of public religion. This cogent analysis unravels the nature of the connection, disconnection, and attempted reconnection between religion and politics in the West.In a comparison of Western Europe and North America, Christianity and Islam, Joppke advances far-reaching theoretical, historical, and comparative-political arguments. With respect to theory, it is argued that only a śsubstantiveť concept of religion, as pertaining to the existence of supra-human powers, opens up the possibility of a historical-comparative perspective on religion. At the level of history, secularization is shown to be the distinct outcome of Latin Christianity itself. And at the level of comparative politics, the Christian Right in America which has attacked the śwall of separationť between religion and state and Islam in Europe with the controversial insistence on sharia law and other śilliberalť claims from some quarters are taken to be counterpart incarnations of public religion and challenges to the secular state.This clearly argued, sweeping book will provide an invaluable framework for approaching an array of critical issues at the intersection of religion, law and politics for advanced students and researchers across the social sciences and legal studies, as well as for the interested public.

Very disappointed
Color: Enno
The toy was split into pieces in the first 5 minutes of the dog playing with it. Apparently not as durable as advertised.

Dog toys need to be sturdy - maybe you should sew them with a 5-thread machine like a serger?
Color: Elroy
My dog's full size teddy is disintegrating, so I ordered this one. It's very cute, but the seams are really weak. I've already repaired 3 seams in just a few weeks.
