If the enduring takeaway from R. Scoot Appleby’s important book Ambivalence of the Sacred is that religion can be good and bad, it is unfortunately a diminished lesson. This binary misses the more robust potential of Appleby’s legacy, which encompasses peace studies, policy, the global engagement with religion, and development theory. The bureaucratization of religion and the emergence of a sphere of “religiocrats” point to a failure to appreciate Appleby’s engagement with prophetic religiosity and religious action. Revisiting the theoretical foundations of Appleby illuminates this potential for expanding the scope of theory and practice of religion and global politics
