Recenzje

»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 Lektüre, die globale Verflechtungen [...] aufzeigt und darüber hinaus eine wertvolle Auswertung sehr heterogenen Materials aus dem Bereich der religiösen Extremismusforschung beispielhaft anbietet.« Isabella Schwaderer, Zeitschrift für 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.« János Besenyo, Terrorism and Politicial Violence, 33/5 (2021)
