Offers an overarching definition and framework for the study of
religion as it manifests itself in everyday life Look around you as
you walk down the street; somewhere, usually hidden in plain sight,
there will be traces of religion. Perhaps it is the person who
walks past with a Christian tattoo or a Muslim hijab. Perhaps it is
the poster announcing a charity auction at the local synagogue. Or
perhaps you open your Instagram feed to see what inspiring images
and meditations have been posted by spiritual guides to help start
the day. Studying Lived Religion examines religious practices
wherever they happen-both within religious spaces and in everyday
life. Although the study of lived religion has been around for over
two decades, there has not been an agreed-upon definition of what
it encompasses, and we have lacked a sociological theory to frame
the way it is studied. This book offers a definition that expands
lived religion's geographic scope and a framework of seven
dimensions around which we can analyze lived religious practice.
Examples from multiple traditions and disciplines show the range of
methods available for such studies, offering practical tips for how
to begin. The volume opens up how we understand the category of
lived religion, erasing the artificial divide between what happens
in congregations and other religious institutions and what happens
in other settings. Nancy Tatom Ammerman draws on examples ranging
from Singapore to Accra to Chicago to show how deeply religion
permeates everyday lives. In revealing the often overlooked ways
that religion shapes human experience, she invites us all into new
ways of seeing the world around us.
