Religion and Politics is written by Johann P. Arnason and published by Edinburgh University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 074869174X (ISBN 10) and 9780748691746 (ISBN 13).

Combining theoretical and empirical research, these 12 essays examine the role of religion and its prospects in Europe. On the one hand, the volume discusses growing Islamic presence in Europe as a reminder of enduring religious pluralism, not least in view of the high prominence given to Islamic experience in arguments against over-generalised notions of secularisation. On the other hand, it explores the question of Christian motivated extremism and religious nationalism. Against this background, the contributors discuss the role of religion in other countries throughout the world including China, Japan, Russia and the MENA region.
