E s Anarchism and religion have historically had an uneasy relationship. s a Indeed, representatives of both sides have regularly insisted on the y fundamental incompatibility of anarchist and religious ideas and practices. s Yet, ever since the emergence of anarchism as an intellectual and political in movement, a considerable number of religious anarchists have insisted A that their religious tradition necessarily implies an anarchist political stance. n a r Reflecting both a rise of interest in anarchist ideas and activism on the c h one hand, and the revival of religious ideas and movements in the political i sphere on the other, this multi-volume collection examines congruities s m and contestations between the two from a diverse range of academic perspectives. a n d The third volume of Essays in Anarchism & Religion includes five essays R focusing on particular individuals (Abraham Heyn, Leo Tolstoy, Herbert Read, Daniel Guérin and Martin Buber), one essay on the affinities e l between mysticism and anarchism, and one surveying the vast territory i g of ‘spiritual anarchism’. i o n In a world where political ideas increasingly matter once more, and religion is an increasingly visible aspect of global political life, these essays offer — V scholarly analysis of overlooked activists, ideas and movements, and as o such reveal the possibility of a powerful critique of contemporary global l.

Stockholm Studies in Comparative Religion Stockholm Studies in Comparative Religion (SSCR) (ISSN 2002-4606) is a peer-reviewed series initiated by Åke Hultkrantz in 1961. While its earlier emphasis lay in ethnographic-comparative app- roaches to religion, the series now covers a broader spectrum of the history of religions, including the philological study of discrete traditions, large-scale comparisons between different traditions as well as theoretical and methodological concerns in the study of cross-cultural religious categories such as ritual and myth. SSCR strives to sustain and disseminate high-quality and inn- ovative research in the form of monographs and edited volumes, preferably in English, but in exceptional cases also in the French, German, and Scandinavian languages. SSCR was previously included in the series Acta Universitatis Stockholmiensis (ISSN 0562-1070).
