Epilogue: Currents of convergence—Religious change in Asian contexts
The framework emphasised in this special issue is convergence, a theoretical lens that challenges the dichotomous thinking embedded in the paradigms of rupture and repair. Across the case studies presented, from tantric Śaivism in medieval Kashmir to religious meme culture in the age of digital media, convergence emerges as a helpful framework for considering religious change. As mentioned in Kendall Marchman's introduction to this special issue,…
Parental and contextual influences on religious transmission in adolescence
Prior research into the factors which contribute to religious development in adolescence has primarily focused on either societal or familial forces. The current study seeks to illuminate the role played by more mid-ranged, faith-based structures such as religious congregations and the faith traditions in which they operate. Using hierarchical linear modeling and a multi-dimensional approach to adolescent religiosity, the current study provides e…

Introduction: From rupture to repair
This special issue develops and expands the discussion about religious change within the anthropology of Christianity by introducing the analytic of ‘repair’ to complement ‘rupture’. Rupture has emerged in the last two decades as a framework for theorising ethnographic accounts of Christian conversion described in radical or absolute terms (e.g., Carroll, 2017; Daswani, 2011, 2015; Engelke, 2004, 2010; Handman, 2010; Haynes, 2012; Holbraad et al.…
The room where it happened: How evangelical leaders used a Closed‐Door meeting to change sentiment for Donald J. Trump
The embrace of Donald J. Trump as a presidential candidate in 2016 was not a given for evangelical voters. The thrice married, one‐time advocate for abortion, who prided himself on his ability to attract beautiful women did not seem like someone for whom evangelicals would enthusiastically show up to vote. Understanding the need to excite the tepid Evangelical base, evangelical leaders planned a meeting of 1000 pastors on 21 June 2016 in New York…
An Introduction to Theologically Engaged Anthropology
The burgeoning field of theologically engaged anthropology has facilitated an overdue dialogue among anthropologists and theologians. The theologically engaged anthropology project created the stratified and transformational research frameworks. The stratified framework encourages anthropologists and theologians to collaborate on common religious topics while maintaining boundaries between each discipline, lest each loses its integrity. The trans…
Theologically Engaged Anthropology
This book emerged out of a three-year John Templeton grant sponsored collaboration between anthropologists and theologians who sought to discover frameworks which allow for a productive interchange between anthropologists and theologians. To these discussions, theologians brought a long history of using the intellectual and social resources of the Christian tradition to address issues of pressing concern, such as the nature and value of cultural …
Theology Revealing the Hājibs of Anthropology: Social Anthropology and Theology in Conversation
This chapter proposes ways in which theology could promote a critique of idolatries in modern anthropology. It culls resources by scouring Nietzsche’s arguments against modernity. Nietzsche enables a vision of modern anthropology as symptomatic of God’s death in the West, thus inducing questions about the ways its adoration of idols may inhibit a truer inquiry. The chapter finds examples to this effect in anthropology’s engagement with the nation…
The “Us-Them” Dilemma
Globalization continues to impact the demands of teaching and learning. Instructors of religion are asked to prepare students for a globalized world. Students have newly formed questions about the religious other because of their visits abroad or experiences with neighbors who have moved from other countries. The focus of this chapter is to call social scientists and comparative theologians to share their fields and develop a reflexive comparativ…
