Around 1800 roughly three per cent of the human population lived in
urban areas; by 2030 this number is expected to have gone up to
some seventy per cent. This poses problems for traditional
religions that are all rooted in rural, small-scale societies. The
authors in this volume question what the possible appeal of these
old religions, such as Christianity, Judaism, or Islam could be in
the new urban environment and, conversely, what impact global
urbanization will have on learning and on the performance and
nature of ritual. Anthropologists, historians and political
scientists have come together in this volume to analyse attempts
made by churches and informal groups to adapt to these changes and,
at the same time, to explore new ways to study religions in a
largely urbanized environment.
