Religion in Rebellion, Revolutions, and Social Movements
edited by Warren S. Goldstein and Jean-Pierre Reed
(Routledge 2022)

Religion in Rebellions, Revolutions, and Social Movements demonstrates that while religion is often a social force that maintains, if not legitimates, the sociopolitical order, it is also a decisive factor in economic, social, and political conflict. The book explores how and under what conditions religion functions as a progressive and/or reactionary force that compels people to challenge or protect social orders.
