Research in Contemporary Religion (RCR)

The RCR series provides an international and interdisciplinary contribution to the academic discourse on contemporary religion. Particularly, it promotes research on religion from the perspective of phenomenological, empirical and cultural studies. RCR includes studies on religious institutions and traditions in pluralized societies and on the diffusion of religion in the public sphere which also make substantial contributions to the theoretical and methodological development of the field. Whilst encouraging historical approaches to current aspects of religion and religions, RCR focuses primarily on contemporary phenomena. It is open for publications both in English and German.
