'... these essays bring diverse and provocative angles of vision to anyone who would want to investigate the complex relationships between religion and terrorism or the broader field of religion and violence.'

Nova Religio 'The Cambridge Companion to Religion and Terrorism is an excellent addition to the literature on religion and terrorism.
