This book paves the way for a more enlarged discussion on religion
and migration phenomena in countries of Northern and Southern
Europe. From a comparative perspective, these are regions with very
different religious traditions and different historical
State/Church relations. Although official religion persisted longer
in Nordic Protestant countries than in South Mediterranean
countries, levels of secularization are higher. In the last
decades, both Northern and Southern Europe have received strong
flows of newcomers. From this perspective, the book presents
through various theoretical lenses and empirical researches the
impact mobility and consequent religious transnationalism have on
multiple aspects of culture and social life in societies where the
religious landscapes are increasingly diverse. The chapters
demonstrate that we are dealing with complex scenarios: different
contexts of reception, different countries of origin, various
ethnicities and religious traditions (Catholics, Orthodox and
Evangelical Christians, Muslims, Buddhists). Having become plural
spaces, our societies tend to be far more concerned with the issue
of social integration rather than with that of social identities
reconstruction in society as a whole, often ignoring that today
religion manifests itself as a plurality of religions. In short,
what are the implications of newcomers for the religious life of
Europe and for the redesign of its soul?
