Charles Selengut
Dr. Charles Selengut is professor of Sociology and of Religious
Studies at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey. He is the author of many
scholarly studies on the rise of Fundamentalism and New Religious Movements
in the Middle East, that foresaw, early on, the advent and intensity of the
current strife in Israel and around the globe. Among his latest works are, a
monograph on the religious roots of the Muslim/Israeli conflict, and his
books, Jewish Identity in the Post Modern Age and The Jewish –
Muslim Encounter, based on an international conference he organized in
Europe, which brought scholars from divergent branches of these faiths, face
to face. Dr. Selengut was the recipient of an NEH Fellowship at
Harvard University and is currently conducting research for a study on
apocalyptic Messianism in Israel and the US.
