Religion in Rebellions, Revolutions, and Social Movements presents fascinating historical material and demonstrates the importance of probing into the many uses of religion in transformational social contexts, as it has demonstrably played – and will likely continue to play – a significant role in socio-political developments and events of historical import. The volume is thus a welcome contribution to the study of the interactions between religion and politics, and is recommended to students and scholars of radical social change who harbor an interest in the role of ideology production for political mobilization, as well as in the affordances of religion as an organizational factor in sustaining political action. Mikheil Kakabadze, Stockholm University, Sweden, writing in Politics, Religion & Ideology, 2023 (https://doi.org/10.1080/21567689.2023.2196118) “Religion in Rebellions, Revolutions, and Social Movements brings together a wide range of topics and case studies centering religion in social and political change. Broadly speaking, the critical religion framework and analytic approach that guides many of the contributions will be of particular interest to scholars working within the humanities and religious studies… One of the key strengths of Goldstein and Reed’s edited volume is the inclusion of a variety of relatively understudied cases that will be new to many social movement scholars.” Scott T. Fitzgerald, University of North Carolina Charlotte, USA, writing in Mobilization (2023)

Fitzgerald, University of North Carolina Charlotte, USA, writing in Mobilization (2023) “This book provides creative, detailed studies of ten cases of religious involvement in rebellions, revolutions, and social movements across history [and] also two chapters that address theory… [The editors] ground the volume in the critical theory of religion… It is to their credit that they have collected a fine set of very detailed studies that show some of the multiple ways that the politicality of religions works.” James V. Spickard, University of Redlands, USA, writing in the Journal of Contemporary Religion, 38:2, 368-370, 2023 (https://doi.org/10.1080/13537903.2023.2203979)
