Explaining Religious Party Strength : State Capacity, Social Services, and Religious Civil Society
Explaining Religious Party Strength explores why religious political parties are electorally successful in some countries but not in others. Drawing on insights from political science and sociology, this book argues that religious parties are typically formed for defensive reasons, reacting against state-builders’ attempts to secularize public services such as education, welfare, and healthcare.Building on these findings, the author argues that the strength of religious parties is determined by the infrastructural power of the state.Weak states that fail to provide adequate public services open up space for religious communities to build a dense network of private schools, hospitals, and charities, which translates into votes for religious political parties.By contrast, strong states that provide efficient public services squeeze out private welfare providers, undermining the electoral strength of religious political parties.The author tests this theory through statistical analysis, using a new dataset on all religious parties which have participated in national parliamentary elections between 1800 and 2015.He includes comparative historical analyses of Roman Catholic political parties in France and Italy and Sunni Islamic political parties in Egypt, Turkey, and Albania. This book will interest students and scholars of religion and politics, specifically those interested in party formation, voting, and political activism, as well as policymakers.

The Nonconformist Revolution : Religious Dissent, Innovation and Rebellion
The Nonconformism Revolution explores the evolution of dissenting thought and how Nonconformity shaped the transformation of England from a rural to an urban, industrialised society.The foundations for the Industrial Revolution were in place from the late Middle Ages when the early development of manufacturing processes and changes in the structure of rural communities began to provide opportunities for economic and social advancement.Successive waves of Huguenot migrants and the influence of Northern European religious ideology also played an important role in this process. The Civil Wars provided a catalyst for the dissemination of new ideas and helped shape the emergence of a new English Protestantism and divergent dissident sects.The persecution which followed strengthened the Nonconformist cause, and for the early Quakers it intensified their unity and resilience, qualities which would prove to be invaluable for business.In the years following the Restoration, Nonconformist ideas fuelled enlightened thought creating an environment for enterprise but also a desire for more radical change.Reformers seized on the plight of a working poor alienated by innovation and frustrated by false promises.The vision which was at first the spark for innovation would ignite revolution.

What is religious pluralism and what are the three phases of historical religious development?
Religious pluralism is the acceptance and coexistence of different religious beliefs and practices within a society. It acknowledges that there are multiple paths to understanding and experiencing the divine, and that no single religion holds a monopoly on truth. The three phases of historical religious development are animism, polytheism, and monotheism. Animism is the belief that all natural objects and phenomena have a soul or spirit. Polytheism is the belief in and worship of multiple gods and goddesses. Monotheism is the belief in and worship of a single, all-powerful deity. These phases represent the evolution of human understanding and interpretation of the divine throughout history.

Islam Observed : Religious Development in Morocco and Indonesia
"In four brief chapters," writes Clifford Geertz in his preface, "I have attempted both to lay out a general framework for the comparative analysis of religion and to apply it to a study of the development of a supposedly single creed, Islam, in two quite contrasting civilizations, the Indonesian and the Moroccan." Mr. Geertz begins his argument by outlining the problem conceptually and providing an overview of the two countries.He then traces the evolution of their classical religious styles which, with disparate settings and unique histories, produced strikingly different spiritual climates.So in Morocco, the Islamic conception of life came to mean activism, moralism, and intense individuality, while in Indonesia the same concept emphasized aestheticism, inwardness, and the radical dissolution of personality.In order to assess the significance of these interesting developments, Mr. Geertz sets forth a series of theoretical observations concerning the social role of religion.

Critical Religious Pluralism in Higher Education : A Social Justice Framework to Support Religious Diversity
This text presents a new critical theory addressing religious diversity, Christian religious privilege, and Christian hegemony in the United States.It meets a growing and urgent need in our society—the need to bring together religiously diverse ways of thinking and being in the world, and eventually to transform our society through intentional pluralism.The primary goal of Critical Religious Pluralism Theory (CRPT) is to acknowledge the central roles of religious privilege, oppression, hegemony, and marginalization in maintaining inequality between Christians and non-Christians (including the nonreligious) in the United States.Following analysis of current literature on religious, secular, and spiritual identities within higher education, and in-depth discussion of critical theories on other identity elements, the text presents seven tenets of CRPT alongside seven practical guidelines for utilizing the theory to combat the very inequalities it exposes.For the first time, a critical theory will address directly the social impacts of religious diversity and its inherent benefits and complications in the United States. Critical Religious Pluralism in Higher Education will appeal to scholars, researchers, and graduate students in higher education, as well as critical theorists from other disciplines.

How can the three phases of historical religious development be represented?
The three phases of historical religious development can be represented through the lens of evolution, adaptation, and transformation. In the evolution phase, religions develop and change over time, adapting to new cultural, social, and political contexts. The adaptation phase involves religions adjusting to new ideas, beliefs, and practices, often in response to external influences. Finally, the transformation phase occurs when religions undergo significant changes, such as the emergence of new sects or the reinterpretation of traditional teachings. These three phases provide a framework for understanding the dynamic nature of religious development throughout history.
