ABSTRACT The article discusses the practice of weeping in Pachomian monasticism as a performance of absolute devotion. Theories about radical religion and approaches to emotions are used as a theoretical lens. Pachomian sources show a religious society in the making. Its emotional practices, including weeping, reflect a form of total devotion toward the divine, the monastic father, and the religious group. The article looks into how weeping was performed, what its scales were, in which ways it reflected religious excellence, and what sort of emotional regime it supported. Weeping interacted with a hierarchical organization and an authoritarian leadership intent on control. Leadership issues were set in a context of intense weeping, founded on the submission of the monastic son to the monastic father and on the son's total devotion to the monastic father and the divine. In the monastic story world, weeping and tears are strong textual signals and a pull factor in radical religion.

ABSTRACT Poets like Horace, Tibullus, Propertius, and Ovid spoke about emotional and explicitly sexual relationships with Venus in a language mobilising towards radical ways to live. Criminal actions from prayer attacks to the use of poisons were considered and imagined as being performed in this literature. Whereas the phenomenon of militia amoris – sexual relationships of men to women framed as military service – has been studied extensively, it has never been analysed in a framework of the History of Religion. Given the widespread reception of such texts and the rise of concepts of militia Christiana in the later Empire, a closer look at these texts is necessary. Focusing on Horace, Odes 4.1, this article inquires into his construction of the interplay of total devotion and emotions, which lies at the basis of performances of this text, and into the coherency of the religious framework developed in the poetry.

ABSTRACT The resettlement of Polish, Latvian and Ukrainian refugees in post-Second World War Queensland, Australia provides a case study of the role of religious organisations in areas that lacked established migrant support networks and services. This article shows how this lack of readily available assistance was addressed by various churches, by drawing on more than 50 oral history interviews in combination with files held by more than ten different archives. This methodology provides new contributions to the study of religion via an extensive analysis of faith-based organisations and refugee resettlement in Queensland. It reveals that ethnic churches fulfilled an important practical role for refugees, and also allowed them to come to terms with their traumatic experiences. These organisations became a vehicle for refugees to assert public agency amidst the constraining expectations of society, revealing new understandings of the role of religious organisations for refugees resettled in locations lacking formal support services.

ABSTRACT Surveying the research field of radical religion, this article identifies major trends that have focused on radical beliefs, marginalisation, and societal relations. The article suggests that to understand radical religion in more depth, the focus on radical beliefs and exterior relations in radical religion research should be supplemented by addressing group-internal ideals of devotion and the role of emotionality and narrativity. I argue that these aspects are important for the formation and continued pull of radical religion, for enduring forms of total devotion that enable identity fusion and motivate costly sacrifice. I present the concept of total devotion and an approach to how shared ideals of devotion, emotionality, narrativity and in-group dynamics in radical religion can be analysed. Finally, the article calls for a historicization of the study of radical religion and highlights contributions to this thematic issue that analyse forms of total devotion from the ancient world.
