"Faith in African Lived Christianity - Bridging Anthropological and Theological Perspectives offers a comprehensive, empirically rich and interdisciplinary approach to the study of faith in African Christianity. The book brings together anthropology and theology in the study of how faith and religious experiences shape the understanding of social life in Africa. The volume is a collection of chapters by prominent Africanist theologians, anthropologists and social scientists, who take people's faith as their starting point and analyze it in a contextually sensitive way. It covers discussions of positionality in the study of African Christianity, interdisciplinary methods and approaches and a number of case studies on political, social and ecological aspects of African Christian spirituality"--

Hauptbeschreibung One of the major trends in the psychology of religion is the growing interest in religious and spiritual meaning making in relation to religious and spiritual transformation processes, notably as the aftermath of traumatic experiences and in situations of crisis, stress or disease when personal well-being is at stake and coping activities and skills are enhanced. This volume covers this broad and complex area of interrelated issues. The contributions focus on religious and spiritual meaning making and transformation.

La conversion religieuse est un processus énigmatique, parfois insaisissable, entre les bouleversements spirituels et leur encadrement religieux, entre la portée d’un changement individuel et l’ampleur de ses effets sociaux. À partir d’une ethnographie de la conversion religieuse menée durant plusieurs années et avec une optique comparative inédite entre les trois monothéismes, l’ouvrage détaille la façon dont on se convertit aujourd’hui en France. Loin de l’idée communément admise de l’abjuration soudaine d’un individu, ce livre montre le rôle central de la nouvelle religion dans l’émergence d’un récit de conversion et l’importance cruciale des proches (familles et amis) dans l’évolution spirituelle des convertis qui vivent en quelque sorte un coming-out religieux. En laissant une large place à ceux qui traversent, encadrent et accompagnent cette odyssée spirituelle, l’ouvrage détaille les étapes de la conversion religieuse en montrant ce qui est attendu des convertis et les façons dont ils s’emploient à y répondre. L’auteur développe une conception relationnelle des conversions religieuses tout en questionnant la place contestée du religieux dans la société française. Les histoires de conversions rapportées dans cet ouvrage témoignent des redéfinitions en cours des identités religieuses en France et la singularité des nouveaux convertis dans un pays laïc et sécularisé, croyants dans un monde incroyant.

This Special Issue is both experimental and comparative. It appropriates diverse disciplinary idioms from the distinctive fields our authors inhabit to focus on the ever-recurrent theme of the individual and the study of religion. Here the familiar topics of "belief", "practice" and "identity" come into conversation with each other from scholars in anthropology, sociology, African-American history, Asian religions, philosophy, religious studies, critical theory, and ancient history. This unashamedly eclectic venture demonstrates both the remarkable diversity enacted by the signifier, “religious”, and the dynamic potential of conversation between interesting scholars working on remarkably interesting topics.

Interessada na mudança no perfil dos seguidores do candomblé, a autora aborda, mais particularmente, da participação de indivíduos de camadas médias nos terreiros de Salvador, a partir de uma análise entre religião e classe social. Trata-se de um estudo detalhado dos processos de identificação e aprendizado pelos quais pessoas de classe média soteropolitana passam a incorporar o candomblé em suas vidas e a terem nos terreiros experiências para as quais sua trajetória de classe pouco lhes preparou. Ao indagar sobre os motivos que levaram a adesão dessas pessoas, o livro costura tais questionamentos e gera uma contribuição importante para a renovação das pesquisas na área do candomblé.
