Religion & beliefs; Religious fundamentalism; Religious groups: social & cultural aspects

The multidisciplinary anthology Religious Fundamentalism in the Age of Pandemic provides deep insights concerning the current impact of Covid-19 on various religious groups and believers around the world. Based on contributions of well-known scholars in the field of Religious Fundamentalism, the contributors offer about a window into the origins of religious fundamentalism and the development of these movements as well as the creation of the category itself. Further recommendations regarding specific (fundamentalist) religious groups and actors and their possible development within Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Judaism round up the discussion about the rise of Religious Fundamentalism in the Age of Pandemic.

Reviews for Religious Fundamentalism in the Age of Pandemic

I recommend this anthology as a guideline for both science and practice in order to strengthen ourunderstanding of religious perceptions of contagion, fear, debt, and faith that are responsible for theinteraction between certain religious groups and their environment during a pandemic. Janos Besenyo, Terrorism and Politcial Violence, 33/5 (2021) The volume should be useful for both academics and P/CVE practitioners who arengaged with radicalization and religious extremism. Ahmet S. Yayla/Serkan Tasgin, Perspectives on Terrorism, 15/6 (2021)
