Religion and politics have been intimately intertwined throughout human history. From the ancient world to the present day, religious beliefs and practices have shaped political systems and ideologies, while political power has in turn influenced the development and spread of religions.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the complex relationship between religion and politics worldwide. It examines the historical, cultural, and social dimensions of this dynamic interplay, drawing on a wide range of case studies from around the globe.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part explores the theoretical foundations of the study of religion and politics. It examines the different ways in which religion and politics have been defined and conceptualized, and it discusses the key issues and debates in the field.

The second part of the book provides a historical overview of the relationship between religion and politics. It traces the development of religious and political institutions from the ancient world to the present day, and it examines the ways in which religion has been used to justify political power and to mobilize political action.

The third part of the book examines the contemporary relationship between religion and politics. It explores the role of religion in modern political movements, such as fundamentalism, nationalism, and populism. It also examines the challenges posed by religious diversity and the rise of secularism.

This book is an essential resource for students and scholars of religion and politics, as well as for anyone interested in the complex relationship between faith and power.
