"Secrecy is a central and arguably integral component of all religious traditions. Not limited simply to religious groups that engage in clandestine activities such as clerical abuse or terrorism, secrecy is inherent in the very fabric of religion itself. Its importance has perhaps never been more acutely relevant than in our own historical moment, particularly in the wake of 9/11 and other acts of religious terrorism and the rise of increasingly invasive national security states that often target religious minorities and pose profound challenges to the ideals of privacy and religious freedom. As such, questions of secrecy, privacy, surveillance, and security are among the most central and contested issues of twenty-first century religious life. The Routledge Handbook of Religion and Secrecy is an outstanding reference source for the key topics, problems and debates in this crucial field and is the first collection of its kind.

We all feel emotions and are moved to action by them. Religious communities often select and foster certain emotions over others. Without understanding this it is hard to grasp the way groups view the world and each other. Often, it is the underlying emotional pattern of a group rather than its doctrines that either divides it from, or attracts it to, others. These issues, so important in today's world, are explored in this book in a genuinely interdisciplinary way by anthropologists, psychologists, theologians and historians of religion, and in some detailed studies of well and less well known religious traditions from across the world.

Why has the turn of the twenty-first century been rocked by a new religious rebellion? From al Qaeda to Christian militias to insurgents in Iraq, a strident new religious activism has seized the imaginations of political rebels around the world. Building on his groundbreaking book, The New Cold War?: Religious Nationalism Confronts the Secular State, Mark Juergensmeyer here provides an up-to-date road map through this complex new religious terrain. Basing his discussion on interviews with militant activists and case studies of rebellious movements, Juergensmeyer puts a human face on conflicts

This volume brings together key findings of the long-term research project ‘Religious Individualisation in Historical Perspective’ (Max Weber Centre for Advanced Cultural and Social Studies, Erfurt University). Combining a wide range of disciplinary approaches, methods and theories, the volume assembles over 50 contributions that explore and compare processes of religious individualisation in different religious environments and historical periods, in particular in Asia, the Mediterranean, and Europe from antiquity to the recent past. Contrary to standard theories of modernisation, which tend to regard religious individualisation as a specifically modern or early modern as well as an essentially Western or Christian phenomenon, the chapters reveal processes of religious individualisation in a large variety of non-Western and pre-modern scenarios. Furthermore, the volume challenges prevalent views that regard religions primarily as collective phenomena and provides nuanced perspectives on the appropriation of religious agency, the pluralisation of religious options, dynamics of de-traditionalisation and privatisation, the development of elaborated notions of the self, the facilitation of religious deviance, and on the notion of dividuality.

"Ennemie de la sexualité, la religion ? C'est là une perception largement répandue, les courants conservateurs des diverses traditions religieuses étant généralement plus bruyants que les groupes libéraux en cette matière. Or, à y voir de plus près, la réalité est plus complexe. Le présent ouvrage offre un parcours des représentations de la sexualité de la part des grandes religions, interprétées sous le double prisme des extases et des interdits. C'est alors que se dégage, entre protection du mariage traditionnel et relecture critique du patriarcat colorant les textes sacrés, un portrait fascinant et nuancé des interactions entre ces deux domaines fondamentaux de l'activité humaine."--
