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 major transition along with religion itself. This volume showcases new work and new approaches to religion which work across boundaries of religious tradition, academic discipline and region. The influence of globalizing processes has been evident in social and cultural networking by way of new media like the internet, in the extensive power of global capitalism and in the increasing influence of international bodies and legal instruments. Religion has been changing and adapting too. This handbook offers fresh insights on the dynamic reality of religion in global societies today by underscoring 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 move beyond existing agendas. Bringing together scholars of all ages and stages of career from around the world, the handbook showcases the dynamism of religion in global societies. It is an accessible introduction to new ways of approaching the study of religion practically, theoretically and geographically.

What are the resources that make religion so persistent and what happened to secularisation? How do the traditional religious institutions fare? How do people identify themselves with regard to religion? Firmly rooted in analyses of the rich and fluid spiritual life on the outskirts of religious institutions – from angel healing and prayer clinics to LGBT activists and yoga entrepreneurs – this volume engages with topical discussions on religious change and post-secularity. The book suggests that there are profound changes occurring in the ways in which religion is involved in people’s lives today and looks at how religious institutions have responded to these changes.

This article discusses religiously motivated financial behaviour among young Muslims in Finland. ... more This article discusses religiously motivated financial behaviour among young Muslims in Finland. The aim of the article is to provide empirical knowledge of Islam-based views on rejecting interest-based loans and the implications of this among Finnish Muslims. The research questions are: What are the reasons and motivations for rejecting interest-based bank loans? Are there alternative modes of financing? What are the impacts of rejection on personal investments, including in business and housing? Data were obtained from 18 Finnish Muslim entrepreneurs and professionals who reject interest-based bank loans. The data show that their rejection led to the scope for financial arrangements being more limited, and may also have significant implications for their children, the next generation. To circumvent these consequences, those interviewed used some or all of four alternative models for funding: savings; interest-free loans from family and friends; credit circles; and the time-bound, ...

The research field emerged somewhat differently in North America and Europe. The Americans were initially more interested in immigrant congregations and their activities in all their variety (e.g. Warner and Wittner, 1998), whereas Europeans focused much more selectively on Muslim immigrants, although still with a focus on their religious organizations (e.g. Nielsen, 1992). The field was soon influenced by the growth of globalisation and transnationalism studies (e.g. Beyer, 1994; Levitt, 2001). More recently, political science has provided insights about the role of the nation state and the wider social and political implications of this new religious diversity in the global age (e.g. Laurence, 2012). The question is, does something beyond the sheer emergence of this new level of religious diversity in the West, and its often problematic associati...
