Using an innovative methodological approach combining field
experiments, case studies, and statistical analyzes, this book
explores how the religious beliefs and institutions of Catholics
and Muslims prompt them to be generous with their time and
resources. Drawing upon research involving more than 1,000
Catholics and Muslims in France, Ireland, Italy, and Turkey, the
authors examine Catholicism and Islam in majority and minority
contexts, discerning the specific factors that lead adherents to
help others and contribute to social welfare projects. Based on
theories from political science, economics, religious studies and
social psychology, this approach uncovers the causal connections
between religious community dynamics, religious beliefs and
institutions, and socio-political contexts in promoting or
hindering the generosity of Muslims and Catholics. The study also
provides insight into what different religious beliefs mean to
Muslims and Catholics, and how they understand those concepts.
