There is currently much discussion regarding the causes of terrorist
acts, as well as the connection between terrorism and religion.
Terrorism is attributed either to religious 'fanaticism' or,
alternately, to political and economic factors, with religion more or
less dismissed as a secondary factor. The Cambridge Companion to
Religion and Terrorism examines this complex relationship between
religion and terrorism phenomenon through a collection of essays
freshly written for this volume. Bringing varying approaches to the
topic, from the theoretical to the empirical, the Companion includes
an array of subjects, such as radicalization, suicide bombing, and
rational choice, as well as specific case studies. The result is a
richly textured collection that prompts readers to critically consider
the cluster of phenomena that we have come to refer to as 'terrorism,'
and terrorism's relationship with the similarly problematic set of
phenomena that we call 'religion.'
