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.

Looks good but the wall anchors is TRASH!
Size: 3-tier shelves, Size: 3-tier shelves
The product is heavy and sturdy once you get it up completely. The issue I have is with the instructions...
1. The 5/16 drill bit is recommends is WAY TO BIG. The Anchors it comes with will slip right through. The screws that is comes with are WAY TO SMALL for the weight. I recommend getting better ones from the hardware store and painting the screws black for better aesthetics.
2. The instructions say to put it together first then hang it on the wall. That is great so you can see where you want to place it and because it is actually bigger than it looks, but you will need to de-assemble it from the bottom shelf down after you mark where you want to place it, then put that part on the wall, then reassemble it from there, securing the top part to the wall last. The instructions sucked but that is what worked best for me.
Another thing is when you first assembling it, you will notice that you will have to unscrew it a bit so the pipes can fast the correct way. This will make it feel flimsy, but it will tighten up when you secure it to the wall.
Also, like some people said in previous reviews, some of the black paint did peel off the pipes, not to much for me but it was noticeable if you look at it hard enough.

Love the look of these
Size: 24in-Shelve
I love the look of these. Bought for towel storage over my toilet. They look really classy and I'm so happy with them. However, its important to note that the wall anchors they provide are way too big for the screws. The screws just fall into the inside of the anchor without even being screwed in. So there's no way you could secure the wall unit with the ones provided. We had to replace the anchors with some I already had. Other than that very happy with the quality and look.

Great shelf
Size: 24in-Shelve
I’m a fan! Good quality, sturdy shelf, very easy to assemble and put on the wall. I recommend having a second person to help hold the shelf while you get the first few screws in, just to keep it level.
I love the larger shelf space, it gives me a lot more storage for the bathroom.

Great Product!
Size: 3tiers-Shelves, Size: 3tiers-Shelves
This shelf system is an awesome option if you're looking for an industrial/rustic vibe. It's feels super well made and was easy to assemble. The finish on the wood is fantastic! All the hardware for mounting was there and even if you have minimal experience mounting brackets and hardware to the wall - this was still very easy. I especially appreciated the "U" brackets to secure the wood shelves to the posts - that was an unexpected extra that I was very happy to see included. Unfortunately because of space and the way my wife wanted these spaced, we didn't use the third shelf, but we're definitely going to find some place else in the house to mount that later. Overall, if you like this decor - I would definitely recommend this item!

Great textbook. Well laid out and easy to follow
Format: Paperback
Great textbook. Well laid out and easy to follow. I read ahead before any lectures and while I'm very lucky to have a great professor anytime they teach topics from the book I already have a full grasp from the text due to its useful easy to follow nature.
