Media Reviews
Stimulating. * Roger Hardy, New Statesman *
Review from previous edition 'Ruthven's careful analysis of the phenomena ... provides a much-needed mental map [from] one of today's most perceptive observers and historians of religion.' * Guardian *
'...powerful stuff ... this book is perceptive and important.' * Observer *
This is a gentle, civilised book, written with some style. I enjoyed reading it. * Sasthi Brata, Spectator 10/04/2004 *
The first clear definition of this indispensable yet misused term. * Anoush Ehteshami, University of Durham *
... an important contribution to the current political and cultural debates about Islam and the West, religious extremism, and the changing identity of supposedly secular societies. * R. Scott Appleby, University of Notre Dame *
