ID - 131783775 TI - Religiosity in East and West : Conceptual and Methodological Challenges from Global and Local Perspectives AU - Demmrich, Sarah AU - Riegel, Ulrich PY - 2020 SN - 9783658310356 PB - Wiesbaden Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden, Imprint: Springer VS DB - UniCat KW - Religious studies KW - Sociology KW - religie KW - sociologie UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:131783775 AB - The book discusses the theoretical and methodological challenges of an interculturally valid sociology of religion and provides insights into the autochthonous socio-religious research in Muslim societies and Asian countries. In this way, it links discourses that have so far taken place primarily independently of one another. The book goes back to a conference in Münster that questioned the Western foundation of empirical religiosity research, which reaches its limits in the non-American and non-European context, but also with regard to orthodox forms of faith in the Western context. The Editors Dr. Sarah Demmrich, Post-doc at the Cluster of Excellence „Religion und Politik“, Chair of Sociology of Religion at University Münster Dr. Ulrich Riegel, Professor for Religious Education at the University of Siegen.
