Book Reviews

“This landmark, field-defining collection of original empirically-grounded essays by leading scholars of religion will be the go-to source for future reflection and research—offering rich insights about the social contexts, practices, and influences of contemporary spirituality.” — Robert Wuthnow, author of What Happens When We Practice Religion?

"Theoretically cohesive and empirically engaging, Situating Spirituality will be the go-to volume on spirituality for sociologists, anthropologists, and religion scholars for decades to come." — Elaine Howard Ecklund, author of Varieties of Atheism in Science

“A must-read for scholars of spirituality, religion, and non-religion. The chapters provide rich and varied examples that shed light on how institutions, discourse, and power shape spirituality as a gendered, raced, sexualized, and fully embodied phenomenon. An enduring contribution.” — Penny Edgell, co-editor of Religion is Raced
