Description
The multidisciplinary anthology Religious Fundamentalism in the Age of Pandemic provides deep insights concerning the current impact of Covid-19 on various religious groups and believers around the world. Based on contributions of well-known scholars in the field of Religious Fundamentalism, the contributors offer about a window into the origins of religious fundamentalism and the development of these movements as well as the creation of the category itself. Further recommendations regarding specific (fundamentalist) religious groups and actors and their possible development within Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Judaism round up the discussion about the rise of Religious Fundamentalism in the Age of Pandemic.

Reviews
"Overall, it is an important book which draws our attention to the rise in religious fundatmentalism and the way fundamentalist groups responded to the pandemic." Bettina E. Schmidt, Anthropos, 117 (2022) "The volume should be useful for both academics and P/CVE practitioners who arengaged with radicalization and religious extremism." Ahmet S. Yayla/Serkan Tasgin, Perspectives on Terrorism, 15/6 (2021) "Das Buch ist im Lichte der nach wie vor nicht abgewendeten Bedrohung durch das Virus eine sehr interessante und erhellende Lekture, die globale Verflechtungen [...] aufzeigt und daruber hinaus eine wertvolle Auswertung sehr heterogenen Materials aus dem Bereich der religioesen Extremismusforschung beispielhaft anbietet." Isabella Schwaderer, Zeitschrift fur Religionswissenschaft, 29 (2021) "I recommend this anthology as a guideline for both science and practice in order to strengthen our understanding of religious perceptions of contagion, fear, debt, and faith that are responsible for the interaction between certain religious groups and their environment during a pandemic." Janos Besenyo, Terrorism and Politicial Violence, 33/5 (2021)
