Publisher: The Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies

The book, consisting of fifteen chapters (822 pages of large pieces, excluding indexes that reach more than 200 pages), is considered an epistemological intersection with a cumulative epistemological project carried out by Bishara to study the history of the religious phenomenon and its relationship to secularization, of which two parts were issued entitled Religion and secularism in a historical context . The book Sect, sectarianism, imagined sects deals with the process of transforming social sectarianism into political sectarianism, based on a theoretical framework in which it engages with social theories, an analysis of social history, and an extrapolation of models from different Arab countries while comparing them with non-Arab models.
