Religion is increasingly visible in the contemporary world as a complex phenomenon - requiring multidisciplinary research to do justice to the complexity. Multidisciplinary research is however, though lauded by many, notoriously difficult to bring to fruition. This volume takes on the challenge to bridge the gap. Contributions formulate the challenges many have faced, but few yet analysed and put into the hands of researchers concrete tools with which to set about designing and executing multidisciplinary research on religions, beliefs and religious behaviour. In an era where research funding increasingly expects interdisciplinary collaboration it provides guidance on constructive pathways and pitfalls to avoid. Contributors are: Riho Altnurme, Anders Bäckström, Lori G. Beaman, Karin Borevi, Leon van der Broeke, Valerie DeMarinis, Victoria Enkvist, Jonny Långstedt, Annette Leis-Peters, Anna-Sara Lind, Martha Middlemiss Lé Mon, Cecilia Nahnfeldt, Per-Erik Nilsson, Peter Nynäs, Margit Warburg, and Anne-Laure Zwilling.

Ways of Living Religion provides a philosophical analysis of different types of religious experience - ascetic, liturgical, monastic, mystical, devotional, compassionate, fundamentalist - that focuses on the lived experience of religion rather than reducing it to mere statements of belief or doctrine. Using phenomenology, Christina M. Gschwandtner distinguishes between different kinds of religious experiences by examining their central characteristics and defining features, as well as showing their continuity with human experience more broadly. The book is the first philosophical examination of several of these types, thus breaking new ground in philosophical thinking about religion. It is neither a confessional treatment nor a reduction of the lived experience to psychological or sociological phenomena. While Gschwandtner's treatment focuses on Christian forms of expression of these different types, it opens the path to broader examinations of ways of living religion that might enable scholars to give a more nuanced account of their similarities and differences.

The literary texts of ancient Israel and early Judaism are infused with ideologies and reflect various social, economic, religious, and political agendas. On the one hand hegemonic and counter-hegemonic ideologies shaped the production of literary texts, on the other hand literary texts helped cement or at least spread such ideologies and worldviews. This volume explores the relationship between authoritative texts, ideologies, and social, religious, and political struggles in Second Temple Judaism by examining both the Hebrew Bible and other literary products of Second Temple Judaism, such as the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Septuagint, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. The volume focuses on a series of case studies and aims to shed light on how literary production in Second Temple Judaism is simultaneously the effect and medium of social struggles for hegemony. The first section of the volume focuses on the texts of the Hebrew Bible and the Samaritan Pentateuch, explicitly engaging with Antonio Gramsci's concept of cultural hegemony. The second section explores the broad themes of power dynamics, conflict, and different types of hegemonies.
