Reviews for Saving the People: How Populists Hijack Religion
'Compelling and hugely ambitious, this book should be read by everyone'. 'Vox Populi, Vox Dei? In the increasingly saturated market of populism books, Saving the People addresses one of the few important black spots: the relationship between religion and populism. A must-read for anyone interested in politics in contemporary western democracies.'
