Asylum and Conversion from Islam to Christianity in Europe
Drawing together previously disjointed scholarship on the topic of asylum and conversion from Islam to Christianity, this book shows how boundaries of belonging are negotiated between Middle Eastern ex-Muslim asylum seekers, church representatives, lawyers, legal decision-makers and policymakers. With case studies from European countries such as Germany, Austria, Finland and Sweden, the book takes an interdisciplinary approach including ethnograp…
Religious theme parks
The most widely known and still most lucrative theme parks are the Disney theme parks. Since the mid-twentieth century, the genre of theme parks has spread widely from their origins in the United States across the world. In 2018, the top ten theme park groups worldwide drew an astounding number of over 500 million visitors, among which Disney parks lead by a share of more than 30%. Religious theme parks share several key characteristics with them…
"What Is Truth?" Negotiating Christian Convert Asylum Seekers' Credibility
The arrival of more than five million refugees in Europe since 2015 has led to increasing investigations into Europe's management of multiculturalism and religious pluralism. Studies to date have chiefly focused on the integration of the cultural and religious "other," but we take a different approach by analyzing asylum proceedings in Germany, based on conversions from Islam to Christianity. Negotiations of credibility of newly converted Christi…
Palestinian Evangelicals - A Theologically Engaged Anthropological Approach
Christian theologians have grappled for centuries with the fact that they are not Jews, yet embedded in Jewish history. Situated in the context of a Jewish-centric State that has been welcomed by a majority of evangelicals worldwide as fulfilment of biblical prophecy (and supported by their financial, spiritual, and political investment), Palestinian evangelicals are an anomaly. While they share an evangelical commitment, they have a complex and …
Nazareth Village and the Creation of the Holy Land in Israel-Palestine
This article makes useful for the study of Christianity Talal Asad’s concept of Islam as a discursive tradition. It investigates how a particular theological position and practice, or “orthodoxy,” within evangelicalism is maintained and lived out. Its goal is to highlight evangelical orthodoxy as a relationship of power and explore the ways in which evangelical beliefs and practice are conditioned by and result in social and political consequence…
Geometries of 'global' evangelicalism
In this article, I explore the power dynamics at play in religious place-making. I critically discuss the uneven co-configurations of imaginaries of the 'local' and 'global' within global evangelicalism. Specifically, I analyse the recent recording of a live album by the famous charismatic Australian band Hillsong United (of Hillsong Church) at various locations in Israel-Palestine, which was followed by a concert tour in Israel. Palestinian evan…
What Kind of Christianity? A v Switzerland
This comment explores how legal authorities understand religious identity and sets these understandings in a wider context. The comment questions whether the interpretation of the claimant’s conversion to Christianity by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and the Swiss Asylum authorities might not be too restricted to a particular Western European form of Christianity. The European Convention on Human Rights gives to the contracting State…
High skilled migration through the lens of policy
High skilled migrants and the policies designed to attract and select such individuals are widely championed. In formulating and evaluating such policies, however, policy makers and academics alike face significant challenges, since, from the perspective of policy, what it means to be high skilled remains a fluid concept. The resulting ambiguity stymies meaningful international comparisons of the mobility of skills, undermines the design and eval…
Who Counts in Crises? The New Geopolitics of International Migration and Refugee Governance
Recent migration ‘crises’ raise important geopolitical questions. Who is ‘the migrant’ that contemporary politics are fixated on? How are answers to ‘who counts as a migrant’ changing? Who gets to do that counting, and under what circumstances? This forum responds to, as well as questions, the current saliency of migration by examining how categories of migration hold geopolitical significance—not only in how they are constructed and by whom, but…
