9 February 2023
Religious Dimensions of Conspiracy Theories: Comparing and Connecting Old and New Trends, edited by Marco Pasi, Francesco Piraino and Egil Asprem, contributes to the study of conspiracy culture by analysing the religious and esoteric dimensions of conspiracy theories.
The book examines both historical and contemporary examples to explore transnational and transhistorical continuities between religious doctrines, eschatologies, and conspiracy theories. It draws on a broad range of disciplinary insights from historians, sociologists, anthropologists, and religious studies scholars. The book has a global focus and features case studies from North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.
