Although numerous studies of religious rituals have been conducted
by religious studies scholars, anthropologists, sociologists, and
psychologists, it is rare to find a work that brings scholars from
different disciplines together to discuss the similarities and
differences in their research. This book represents contributions
by leading scholars from several disciplines that show the
diversity of approaches to religious rituals, while also providing
cross-disciplinary perspectives on this topic. The goals of the
chapters are to consider where the field currently stands in
understanding religious rituals and what novel ideas can improve
our knowledge about these practices; and furnish innovative
applications of theory by discussing particular examples which are
drawn from the authors' fieldwork. The chapters cover Christian,
Buddhist, Jewish, and Islamic rituals, thus providing a view of how
ritual practices vary across the globe, but also how they share
some important characteristics.
