Routledge Handbook of Religion and Politics is a welcome addition and guide to the rapidly growing literature on religion and politics. The editor Jeffrey Haynes has gathered altogether twenty-six authors, who have produced a volume of twenty-five chapters. The volume is well edited and pleasant reading. The book is divided into four sections and is global in its scope despite of its Anglophone bias in terms of authors.
