This article examines briefly ancient and modern examples of three different patterns of relations between empire and religion: (a) imperial elites' construction of subject peoples' religions, (b) subjected peoples' revival of their own traditional ways of life in resistance to imperial rule, and (c) the development of religious practices that constitute imperial power relations. These cases raise key issues for religious and biblical studies, such as the modern western reduction of religion to individual belief, the relation of the religious and the secular, and particularly the relation of religion and power.
