Shaped and forged over the course of the twentieth century, it has reflected the interests and political situation of the world at the time. As the twenty-first century unfolds, it is undergoing a significant transition, alongside religion itself. This volume showcases new work and new approaches to religion that transcend boundaries of religious tradition, academic discipline, and region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe influence of globalizing processes has been evident in various aspects of social and cultural networking through new media such as the internet, the extensive power of global capitalism, and the growing influence of international bodies and legal instruments. Religion has also been changing and adapting to these developments. This handbook offers fresh insights into the dynamic reality of religion in global societies today by highlighting transformations in eight key areas: Market and Branding, Contemporary Ethics and Virtues, Intimate Identities, Transnational Movements, Diasporic Communities, Responses to Diversity, National Tensions, and Reflections on 'Religion.' These themes demonstrate the handbook's new topics and approaches that go beyond existing agendas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBringing together scholars of all ages and stages of career from around the world, the handbook showcases the dynamism of religion in global societies.
