Rezensionen

"This book is a valuable text for students, researchers, practitioners, and policy makers engaged with and in humanitarianism, irrespective of their direct or indirect engagement with matters of faith or faith leaders and communities. This is particularly pertinent given the continuing, dominant, and core narrative of the secular necessities of humanitarianism and the very real implications this narrative has for both policy and practice." (Khatereh Eghdamian, Journal of Refugee Studies, Vol. 29 (3), September, 2016)
