Review Quotes: Rigorous yet absorbing... [Frampton's] book fills a crucial gap in the literature and will be essential reading not just for scholars, but for anyone seeking to understand the ever-problematic relationship between religion and politics in today's Middle East.--Malise Ruthven "Financial Times" (2/7/2018 12:00:00 AM)
