In particular, the 'three-dimensional view of conflict', which he here presents, provides a strikingly novel and valuable contribution to the debate, which deserves wide circulation and engagement. If contemporary narratives of religious violence in the media and beyond are not disrupted by this publication, it will not be Rowley's fault.'
