The second volume of Azmi Bishara’s project Religion and Secularism in Historical Context follows the foundations laid in volume one, Religion and Religiosity, which examined the process of secularization and secularism in the West and the world of Islam and the Arabs. The second part of the project: The Historical Process of Secularization deals with the West in two volumes, the first dealing with the intellectual process (European intellectual development paving the way for secularization and accompanying its intellectual course), and the second dealing with theories of secularism and their experiences in countries such as France, Britain, and the United States.
