Ancient religions, modern politics: The Islamic case in comparative perspective

Research output: Contribution to journalLiterature reviewpeer-review

Abstract

Michael Cook's Ancient Religions, Modern Politics is a work of art – not everyone will see the same beauty in it, but everyone will recognise the skill required to have put it together. The author clearly outlines specific research questions, answers them with detailed comparative analyses and avoids making claims beyond the realm of the work. In many ways, this work is a culmination of a life dedicated to scholarly research and writing. Ancient Religions, Modern Politics has depth that is uncommon, is presented in a readable format that makes it accessible to non-experts and is recognised for its academic rigour by specialists.
