Routledge International Handbook of Religion in Global Society
2021,2020
Overview
Like any other subject, the study of religion is a child of its time. Shaped and
forged over the course of the twentieth century, it has reflected the interests and
political situation of the world at the time. As the twenty-first century unfolds,
it is undergoing a major transition along with religion itself. This volume
showcases new work and new approaches to religion which work across boundaries of
religious tradition, academic discipline and region.
The influence of globalizing processes has been evident in social and cultural
networking by way of new media like the internet, in the extensive power of global
capitalism and in the increasing influence of international bodies and legal
instruments. Religion has been changing and adapting too. This handbook offers fresh
insights on the dynamic reality of religion in global societies today by
underscoring transformations in eight key areas: Market and Branding; Contemporary
Ethics and Virtues; Intimate Identities; Transnational Movements; Diasporic
Communities; Responses to Diversity; National Tensions; and Reflections on
'Religion'. These themes demonstrate the handbook's new topics
and approaches that move beyond existing agendas.
Bringing together scholars of all ages and stages of career from around the world,
the handbook showcases the dynamism of religion in global societies. It is an
accessible introduction to new ways of approaching the study of religion
practically, theoretically and geographically.
