This volume brings together essays by such eminent scholars like Shmuel N. Eisenstadt, Mary Douglas, Thomas Luckmann, Reinhart Koselleck, and Jan Assmann on the topic of politics and religion. The relationship between religious and cultural visions on the one hand and socio-political structures on the other becomes elaborated from a wide historical and culturalist perspective. These accounts are flanked by contributions of a younger generation of scholars that focus on new aspects of secularisation.
The book aims at reviving the interdisciplinary discourse on a matter which seems to be crucial to the question of future solidarity between different cultures and religions in a globalising world.

'...this publication is a worthy series of contributions to the field of religion and politics and is thorough in its treatment of the current debates and its range of focuses on, for instance, institutional and social structural understandings of the relationship between religion and politics. This book, Volume 3 of International Studies in Religion and Society, is a good source for knowledge on religion and pre-modern stages of evolution and the fundamental cultural and political meanings behind the persistence of a religious or transcendental core in societies...a significant number of core political considerations are dealt with more that adequately in this indispensable edition.'
