    Default Book #1: Religion and State by L. Carl Brown

    Religion and State: The Muslim Approach to Politics by L. Carl Brown is our first book. All discussions about this book will go in this thread.

    If you are interested in ordering the book, it is available on Amazon. If you are so inclined, use the SWJ affiliate link to order it and help support SWJ in the process. This ISBN's are as follows:

    ISBN-10: 0231120397
    ISBN-13: 978-0231120395

    Discussions will start September 16th to give everyone a chance to get ahold of this book and begin reading.

    Reminders:
    - Please give a page number when bringing up an item or quote for discussion.
    - Critical reading is encouraged, but please back up your critique with a source!
    - Endnotes and Footnotes are worth taking a look at.
    - Same with the works cited/bibliography. It's a treasure trove of excellent sources.
    - Have fun and ask questions!

    There will be a lot of vocabulary and dates tossed around. I will create a list of both in a separate thread as the vocabulary and dates will carry over between readings. I will do my best to keep it current!

    I think everyone should be able to finish Part I (74 pages) by then. Part II may need to be split in half to be doable.

    Is it OK to post rolling comments as we read? or to finish part X and then say something?

    Sure. I'd focus more on questions now as others may be encountering similar things. Delving into the nitty gritty may be a touch premature.

    It is the 19th September. I take it the seminar was cancelled? In that case, where's the pub!
