: T he digital world has opened new channels for the Islamic world to build a global Muslim community, strengthening solidarity, social networking, political participation, self-expression, storytelling, and meaning-making. Muslims around the world have joined the global digital revolution, integrating social media into every dimension of their lives with incredible speed and skill. A new generation of Muslims have learned to use digital media to find their voices, question cultural taboos, criticize traditional gatekeepers of religious authority, and challenge entrenched political forces. This virtual production has showcased various Muslim identities, blending culture, ethnicity, class, and gender. The Internet allows interface between digital media with a variety of lively contemporary Islamic contexts, as described in this book. Case studies from a wide variety of cultural and geographical areas: Indonesia, Iran, the Arab Middle East, and North America, showing a map of the diversity and vibrancy of Islamic digital media against the backdrop of trends in broad social issues: racism and Islamophobia, gender dynamics, culture celebrities, identity politics, and ever-changing modes of piety and religious practice. The digital world has upended social hierarchies and entrenched power dynamics, with Islamic religious leaders and laypeople alike using electronic multimedia platforms to speak in the name of Islam, fighting over the cloak of authority and authenticity of Islam.

ABSTRACT This article explores the paradoxical gendering of charisma in the lives of congregation members at a Charismatic Pentecostal church, the Church of Christ the King (CCK), in Brighton and Hove, UK. Gender is discussed as a ‘hot potato’ at CCK, a point of divergence and negotiation. I show how these dialogues are shaped by specific symbolic and embodied forms of gendered imagination and practice, which often operate counter to gender norms outside the Church. Looking at the intersection of youth and gender at the Church, I show how countercultural opposition serves to underwrite a culture of service and submission, which buttresses patriarchal authority and cements gendered hierarchies within the Church. As I argue, the overlooking of the relationship between religious leadership and gender is increasingly challenged by the younger generation bringing together self-making processes from both the sacred and the secular realm.

ABSTRACT This article aims to de-centre the taken-for-granted categories and empirical tendencies in the field of pilgrimage studies by discussing how the phenomenon of neo-Pentecostal journeys and pilgrimage emerges in Africa. Pentecostal Christianity’s rapid growth and development in Africa are now well-known and researched; however, some distinctive patterns of transnational religious circulation and mobilities have so far escaped academic attention. Over the last decade, West Africa has emerged as a Pentecostal spiritual centre for religious pilgrimage, a space where ‘godfathers’ mentor young, mainly male, aspiring prophets from across Africa to perform ‘extraordinary miracles’. It is also a space where politicians, diasporas, and ordinary believers flock for spiritual rebirth and release from the burden of poverty and the quest for healing and prophecy. This article highlights that the neo-Pentecostal journeys and pilgrimage are grounded in indigenous religious worldviews, Pan-African connections, and Africans’ agency, on a continent shaped by violent and exploitative structures and experiences of enslavement, colonialism, and neoliberal capitalism.

a speech after the mayor, during which he merely reproduces the content of previous speakers under the subtle force of a “decisive soundscape” (248). Moreover, the theoretical analysis implies that, although the Lal Begi tradition is considered defunct, the covert festival and shrine in the darkness show that it exists in secret. As the author observes during the ritual of Lal Beg, many residents emerge to sacrifice a rooster and dedicate offerings, including public figures who oppose all ‘superstition’ (262). When individuals mention the religious event, they are aware that it is a secret. This signifies the necessity of switching from language to a wordless semiotic vehicle, a gesture. When ‘Lal Mahadev’, renamed ‘Lal Beg’ to camouflage the connection with the name of Shiva (Mahadev), the tactics of ‘defensive ambiguity’ employed by the Dalit simultaneously face both the state and the community’s past and can be observed as cautious concealment as well as subterfuge (267, 288). This ethnography is substantial and rich. Based on historical literature and personal narratives, it spans a period of 100 years. With a keen sense of language, religion, and culture of both Muslims and Hindus in Northern India, the author finds a secret world of hidden identity that is under-studied and misread. Traversing the boundaries of politics and religion, this study’s main theoretical dialogue is established on the theory and debate of semiotics. Furthermore, it connects with subaltern studies, sociology, phenomenology, and philosophy. Although the richness of the book may pose a challenge for some readers, it is nevertheless insightful and worth reading for those who are interested in South Asian, religious, political, and ethnographic studies.

project in the future tense that Atatürk championed contrasts with the encomium to symbolic religious reconquest that Erbaş delivered. Beyond these differences in content, however, a striking commonality in form haunts and troubles their ideological opposition. Both Atatürk and Erbaş spoke monologically as uncontested agents of the state from a position both literally and figuratively above their assembled audience. This spatialised performative hierarchy continues to both fuel and frustrate state-based politics in Turkey today, whether secularist or Islamist. Pulpit, Mosque and Nation provides welcome, timely insight into the relationship between this politics of the state and the Friday sermon—unquestionably, its lessons extend far beyond Turkish mosques.

several fascinating anecdotes, such as how both clergy who demonstrated resistance to the Nazis, such as the Catholic Cardinal August von Galen of Münster, and those who had supported them, such as the Protestant Bishop August Marahrens of Hanover, could cause problems for the British authorities in different ways. He also points out how much improvisation was involved by the British in the aftermath of the war, including the question of religion, as many records in Berlin they hoped to access after the surrender were destroyed in the fighting between the Wehrmarcht and the Red Army in the closing weeks of the war, as well as how crucially important British Army chaplains were in working with the German Churches in the early phases of the occupation. While Howson, given his background as a chaplain in the British Army, has a personal connection to the historical subject matter, he remains largely objective for the most part. There are some occasional mistakes, such as the claim on p. 111 that Berlin was not incorporated into West or East Germany in the duration of the Cold War (the eastern half was the capital of the German Democratic Republic), and at times the writing is a bit dry. Despite this, the work is highly recommended for all those interested in the occupation of Germany and religious life after Stunde Null (Zero Hour). Howson concludes his work by claiming the Religious Affairs Branch deserves to be better known. In the opinion of this reviewer, he has ably made his case.

ABSTRACT With a focus on contemporary religion, this article considers Catholic youth in Muslim-majority Indonesia who are active in the public sphere and committed to the cause of nationalist unity. A current push by Islamist extremists threatens and excludes those of other faiths. Young Catholics are sometimes made to feel as though they do not belong in the modern imaginings of caliphate and enforced Shari’a law. They find the marginalisation deeply disturbing since they feel strong loyalty to the nation. Some turn inward, focusing on Catholic orthopraxy and service to the diocese. Others direct their energies to interfaith dialogue and alliance, seeking political influence through solidarity with moderate Muslims. A lived religion approach based on the work of Ammerman (2014) and Laksana and Wood (2019) allows us to understand the imbrication of Catholic and nationalist identities through the analysis of interview data.
本文以当代宗教为焦点，探讨了穆斯林占多数的印度尼西亚活跃于公共领域并致力于民族主义团结事业的天主教青年。伊斯兰极端分子目前的推动威胁并排斥其他信仰的人。年轻的天主教徒有时会觉得自己不属于现代想象中的哈里发国和强制执行的伊斯兰教法。他们对自己的国家有着强烈的忠诚感，因此对这种边缘化深感不安。一些人转向内部，专注于天主教的正义性和对教区的服务。其他人则把精力投入到不同信仰间的对话和联盟中，通过与温和的穆斯林团结一致来寻求政治影响力。基于Ammerman(2014)和Laksana and Wood(2019)的工作的生活宗教方法使我们能够通过对访谈数据的分析来理解天主教和民族主义身份的交织。

ABSTRACT Our era is marked by ‘therapeutic culture’, referring to the increasing prevalence of therapeutic concepts and psychological knowledge in the way people understand and make sense of their lives. A marked part of therapeutic culture is self-help literature. It comprises a wide array of items that centre around managing everyday life issues, self-development, and psychological growth. Existing research portrays self-help books as deeply individualistic. However, there is little knowledge about the spiritual and religious dimensions of the genre. The aim of this article is to explore human intersubjectivity, and its religious dimensions, in self-help literature. Drawing on a content analysis of eleven self-help books, we address the issues of whether, how, and to what extent self-help books represent humans as relational beings and how the notions of religion and spirituality underlying the books relate to these issues. The findings illustrate the centrality of intersubjectivity in the genre. The conclusions on religion are multifaceted: spirituality in the books has positive connotations, while institutional religion is seen as negative, or even as a threat, to well-being and intersubjectivity.
