Doing Multidisciplinary Research on Religion: Methodological, Conceptual and Theoretical Challenges (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789004677807)

Religion is increasingly visible in the contemporary world as a complex phenomenon - requiring multidisciplinary research to do justice to the complexity. Multidisciplinary research is however, though lauded by many, notoriously difficult to bring to fruition.

This volume takes on the challenge to bridge the gap. Contributions formulate the challenges many have faced, but few yet analysed and put into the hands of researchers concrete tools with which to set about designing and executing multidisciplinary research on religions, beliefs and religious behaviour. In an era where research funding increasingly expects interdisciplinary collaboration it provides guidance on constructive pathways and pitfalls to avoid.
