The central theme of this book is the nexus between the self, the
social, and the sacred in conversion and recovery. The
contributions explore the complex interactions that occur between
the person, the sacred, and various recovery situations, which can
include prisons, substance abuse recovery settings and domestic
violence shelters. With an interdisciplinary approach to the study
of conversion, the collection provides an opportunity for a better
understanding of lived religion, guilt, shame, hope, forgiveness,
narrative identity reconstruction, religious coping, religious
conversion and spiritual transformation. This volume will be of
interest to scholars and students of lived religion, religious
conversion, recovery, homelessness, and substance dependence.
This volume explores the ways in which lived religion encourages
and contributes to conflicts, as well as fosters tolerance, in the
interlocking rural, urban, and virtual social spheres. Through ten
case studies with vast geographical and religious variation, the
contributors address some of the shortcomings in analyses of the
relationship between religion and (in)tolerance and offers a
theoretically and empirically more nuanced understanding of the
micro-politics of (in)tolerance and the roles of lived religion in
it. The book argues that (in)tolerance and its connection to
religion cannot be fully understood unless analyzed from below,
which means that the focus needs to be not only on public
institutions or religio-political spaces but also on (in)tolerance
of ordinary people and their performativity, practices, and
interests in non-institutionalized spaces. This showcases the
ambiguous interconnectedness of lived religion and (in)tolerance.
Lived Religion and the Politics of (In)Tolerance will be of
interest to students and scholars interested in lived religion, the
relationship between politics and religion, and those working in
cross-cultural dialogue and through an anti-racism, and
anti-violence lens.
This book focuses on the power of the 'ordinary', 'everydayness'
and 'embodiment' as keys to exploring the intersection of trauma
and the everyday reality of religion. It critically investigates
traumatic experiences from a perspective of lived religion, and
therefore, examines how trauma is articulated and lived in the
foreground of people's concrete, material actualities. Trauma and
Lived Religion seeks to demonstrate the vital relevance between the
concept of lived religion and the study of trauma, and the
reciprocal relationship between the two. A central question in this
volume therefore focuses on the key dimensions of body, language,
memory, testimony, and ritual. It will be of interest to academics
in the fields of sociology, psychology, and religious studies with
a focus on lived religion and trauma studies, across various
religions and cultural contexts.

Europe as a Multiple Modernity: Multiplicity of Religious
Identities and Belonging challenges the predominant modernity
theory arguing that Europe can be considered as one multiple
modernity. In that, the book presents a collection of essays
showing the plurality of discourses and variety in human
self-reflexion on notions of religious and belonging in everyday
lives. Emphasis is placed on religious actors and individuals in
Europe, and the multiplicity of their senses of religious
identification and belonging.
