Review # 1 was written on 2013-12-03 00:00:00 Marlen Brandox Looks at the state of secularism in international relations. It draws upon the tension between western (Judeo-Christian and laicist) perspectives of secularism and their historical elements. The book weaves a narrative of these concepts incompatibility with non-Western perceptions of secularism and modernity. The book closes by noting that the spheres of religion and politics are not fixed concepts but rather shaped through history and cultural narratives. Overall this book provides thought-provoking arguments into how scholars view the secularism consensus and its applicability when faced with a global resurgence of religion in the political sphere.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-06-28 00:00:00 Chris Carton One of the best books I read on secularism. It is eye-opening on the reality of the political order found in the world. It is a book that perceives secularism as mere social construct, and not a truth that is found but made. Essential read for carriers of da'wah around the globe.
