This edited collection harnesses a diversity of interpretivist
perspectives to provide a panoramic view of the production,
experiences, contexts, and meanings of religion. Scholars from the
US, South Asia and Europe explore religious phenomena using
ethnographic, comparative historical, psychosocial, and critical
theoretical approaches. Each chapter addresses foundational themes
in the study of religion - from identity, discourse and power to
ritual, emotion, and embodiment. Authors examine dynamic
intersections of race, gender, history, and the present within the
religious traditions of Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism,
as well as among the non-religious. Cutting boldly across religious
traditions and paradigms, the book investigates areas of harmony
and contradiction across different interpretive lenses to achieve a
richer understanding of the meanings of religion.
