Religious Politics and Secular States: Egypt, India, and the United States Hardcover - 2010 - 1st Edition
by Scott W. Hibbard
From the jacket flap
This comparative analysis probes why conservative renderings of religious tradition in the United States, India, and Egypt remain so influential in the politics of these three ostensibly secular societies.
Although much has been written about the resurgence of religious politics, scholars have paid less attention to the role of state actors in promoting new visions of religion and society. Religious Politics and Secular States fills this gap by situating this trend within longstanding debates over the proper role of religion in public life.
With its accessible language and rich examples, this book would be of interest to a wide audience that includes general readers as well as scholars of religion and politics.--Choice
An important contribution to the literature on religion and politics.--Steven A. Cook, Council on Foreign Relations
[Hibbard's] examination of the contemporaneous policies of the Indian, Egyptian and American governments is as revealing as it is original.--David Little, Harvard Divinity School
