In Between Religions: On Religious Hybridity and Belonging

"In Between Religions: On Religious Belonging and Hybridity offers a comprehensive and systematic exploration of the phenomenon of religious hybridity. This book delves into the various types of religious hybridity, discussing the arguments for and against belonging to more than one religion. It frames these discussions within the broader context of religious belonging, its meanings, and functions. Adopting a broadly phenomenological approach, the book remains descriptive and analytical, providing a typology of religious hybridity and its assessments. The final chapter offers a normative assessment of how religious hybridity may contribute to the self-understanding and enrichment of religious traditions. This book aims to bring clarity to an expanding field of inquiry and provide distinctions and categories that will help move the conversation forward"-- Provided by publisher.
