Migration affects all aspects of the lives of those who have left their homes, including facets characterized as religious. Religion and religious identity are linked to social, cultural, and political issues, including integration, identity negotiation, diasporic community formation, interreligious dialogue, and religious pluralism. On the one hand, migration can change religious cultures, rituals, and traditions through the experience of mobility and the response of the host country. On the other hand, religious groups can encourage migration. In this context, new forms of transnational interaction and organization have emerged that contribute to the reformulation of community and identity. In some cases, such changes can lead to new conflicts and even trigger religious radicalization. This edited book consists of essays that bring together various perspectives on religious groups and their migration processes in different geographical regions. The aim is to empirically analyze the discourse and practices of national and transnational religious groups while investigating the relationship of religion and migration to political, historical, cultural, and social transitions. The book brings together academics and practitioners from different countries through interdisciplinary approaches that will be of interest to a wide readership of scholars and practitioners.

Como outros aspectos de suas identidades culturais, os humanos carregam suas identidades religiosas com eles enquanto atravessam as geografias. Este artigo explora os efeitos do movimento inter-regional, como mobilidade e migração, sobre as práticas e crenças religiosas dos antigos povos do Mediterrâneo, especificamente daqueles que vêm a ser chamados de israelitas. Vários estudos que explicam as diferenças religiosas internas em Israel e Judah explicam as múltiplas associações geográficas de Yahweh como "Poli-Javismo", presumindo que a veneração de diferentes associações geográficas é, na realidade, atos de culto dirigidos a diferentes Yahwehs. Os estudos de migração, especificamente aqueles que envolvem a instrumentalização migratória da religião, não têm sido parceiros centrais de conversação nessas explorações de personagens divinos. Assim, argumento que as complexidades do intercâmbio cul...

Avar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Life and Society in the Ancient Near East, 2022

At the time this inaugural issue of Avar: A Journal of Life and Society in the Ancient Near East ... more At the time this inaugural issue of Avar: A Journal of Life and Society in the Ancient Near East heads to press, we are keenly aware of the fact that the number of new journals in the fields of Biblical Studies, Egyptology, and broader Ancient Near Eastern Studies have proliferated in the last decade. Yet, we hope to demonstrate to our readers that Avar fills an important lacuna in the academic study of the ancient past. The title of the journal, Avar, centers interdisciplinarity as the primary framework for illuminating life and society in the ancient Near East. In what follows, we will introduce our vision for such interdisciplinarity.
