In introducing his timely model of religious intensity, Arbel (research archeologist, Israel Antiquities Authority) distinguishes between 'intense' and 'extreme' in the often inconsistent logic in monotheistic religious ideologies. In the context of historical examples of religious intense/extreme movements and their political impacts, he presents a case study of recent Islamic zealotry justifying terrorism, and approaches to interpreting evidence of religious intensity. Illustrations includes maps of archeological sites, theoretical models, photos of artefacts and Israeli sites of suicide attacks. The volume is based on the author's doctoral thesis in anthropology at the U. of California, San Diego. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
