Discover 'The Secular State Under Siege', a compelling exploration of the intricate relationship between religion and politics in the modern world. This brand new edition, published by John Wiley & Sons in 2015, dives into the historical and theoretical underpinnings that shape current debates surrounding secularism. It addresses the pressing issues raised by the resurgence of public religion in both Western Europe and North America, offering a nuanced analysis of the challenges faced by secular governance today.In 'The Secular State Under Siege', author Joppke presents a rigorous examination of how Christianity and Islam interact with political authority and the implications of their conflicting ideologies. This 240-page book meticulously unravels the complexities of secularization, illustrating how it is uniquely tied to the historical development of Latin Christianity. It specifically highlights the phenomena of the Christian Right in America and the rise of Islamic claims within European societies, both of which challenge the established separation between state and religion.
Ideal for advanced students, researchers, and the intellectually curious, this volume is an essential resource for understanding the intersections of religion, law, and politics. Whether your interests lie in political theory, social sciences, or contemporary legal studies, this book will deepen your understanding of the secular state's vulnerabilities in the face of rising public religious sentiments.

Description:
Throughout human history, religion and politics have entertained the most intimate of connections as systems of authority regulating individuals and society. While the two have come apart through the process of secularization, secularism is challenged today by the return of public religion. This cogent analysis unravels the nature of the connection, disconnection, and attempted reconnection between religion and politics in the West.In a comparison of Western Europe and North America, Christianity and Islam, Joppke advances far-reaching theoretical, historical, and comparative-political arguments. With respect to theory, it is argued that only a śsubstantiveť concept of religion, as pertaining to the existence of supra-human powers, opens up the possibility of a historical-comparative perspective on religion. At the level of history, secularization is shown to be the distinct outcome of Latin Christianity itself. And at the level of comparative politics, the Christian Right in America which has attacked the śwall of separationť between religion and state and Islam in Europe with the controversial insistence on sharia law and other śilliberalť claims from some quarters are taken to be counterpart incarnations of public religion and challenges to the secular state.This clearly argued, sweeping book will provide an invaluable framework for approaching an array of critical issues at the intersection of religion, law and politics for advanced students and researchers across the social sciences and legal studies, as well as for the interested public.

Easy storage, good holding power
This industrial pipe shelving system is a very nice way to add DIY storage to any room. The parts come well protected and are easy to assemble. They come with all the hardware one needs to install, though I used my own wall anchors because I like the ones I use and I know they work very well. I also decided in the end not to use the support legs because they would have had the shelves too low when mounted from the ceiling. Instead, I took those off and flipped the frames over so nothing would get in there, and I'll probably get nipples and caps from the hardware store to finish off the bottoms.
The frames are finished in black, and resemble old galvanized gas pipes. As previously mentioned, assembly is easy enough and they accommodate whatever width of shelf you want to put up, within a reasonable limit. I used 36" shelves because that's the space I had to work with. The fact that each flange has three screws, assuming this is installed correctly, it should be rock-solid. I know mine is. I installed this in our laundry room / craft room in order to get more storage space, because it is so very busy in there.
Given one could purchase the parts needed to build one of these for less, it's still a good value for the money because then after you buy those parts you have to clean and paint them, as well as prepare the boards. All I had to do was assemble these, and then prepare the boards, which made my life easier and the time saved was well worth the little extra. They also look fantastic with natural-colored oiled pine. I recommend these racks for their aesthetic, ascetic appearance, and their ability to hold a good amount of weight and storage, and not to mention if they're installed like mine, they will hold rolled leather hides like nobody's business.
