Until recently, Irish religion has been seen as defined by Catholic
power in the South and sectarianism in the North. In recent years,
however, both have been shaken by widespread changes in religious
practice and belief, the rise of new religious movements, the
revival of magical-devotionalism, the arrival of migrant religion
and the spread of New Age and alternative spirituality.This book is
the first to bring together researchers exploring all these areas
in a wide-ranging overview of new religion in Ireland. Chapters
explore the role of feminism, Ireland as global `Celtic' homeland,
the growth of Islam, understanding the New Age, evangelicals in the
Republic, alternative healing, Irish interest in Buddhism,
channelled teachings and religious visions.This book will be an
indispensable handbook for professionals in many fields seeking to
understand Ireland's increasingly diverse and multicultural
religious landscape, as well as for students of religion,
sociology, psychology, anthropology and Irish Studies. Giving an
overview of the shape of new religion in Ireland today and models
of the best work in the field, it is likely to remain a standard
text for many years to come.
