ABSTRACT
The (sub-)field of enquiry known as anthropology of religion has been enjoying some long overdue renewal and recognition over the last decade, with the development of new texts and research areas, and new communities of scholars.1 This renewal of interest is related in part to the growing salience of religion on the world stage, not least as a marker of identity and source of resistance at the local, translocal, and transnational levels. This in turn has generated a greater need for those with specialized knowledge of religious actors and formations in diverse and changing contexts.
