Religious Intolerance in America
“At times the editors’ writing shifts from being simply explanatory to a rousing, needed call to action. Because they are inviting the reader to examine religious intolerance, they note the compelling connection between religious intolerance and religious myth.” - Colby Townsend

"Howard’s alternative hermeneutic of pregnancy for contemporary prenatal subculture within dominant US society has the potential to reshape our thinking, elicit action, confront the pitfalls of autonomy, and spur us toward a renewed understanding of human flourishing." - Lisa Joy Fowler
The Revolutionary Life of Freda Bedi
“Mackenzie narrates the story of Bedi’s life and her death in 1977 with aplomb, and includes not only her many accomplishments, challenges, and triumphs, but also her foibles. . . . the strength of the book is the remarkable narrative history it relates, based on firsthand reports from Bedi herself and those who knew her well.” - Karma Lekshe Tsomo
Jihadists of North Africa and the Sahel
"Several books have appeared since France intervened in Mali in 2013, driving Al Qaeda-affiliated jihadists out of the north, but none as informative as Alexander Thurston’s Jihadists of North Africa and the Sahel. He examines the major crises in the region, offering many helpful suggestions in response to what has happened since the 1980s." - Christopher Wise
The Social Scientific Study of Exorcism in Christianity
"To their credit, the editors present this volume as a unified defense against the marginalization of exorcism research within the academy. . . . This volume succeeds as both a well-researched contribution to the study of modernity and one of the best analytic studies of exorcism more generally.” – William Chavez
