This article examines the landscape of and complex relationship between religious freedom, security, extremism, and terrorism.
This thesis explores the intersection of the seemingly disparate fields of Christian mission and deradicalization seeking understanding of a recent phenomenon of deradicalization and religious conversion from Islam to Christianity in the Levant.
