The Borders of Religion

Dear Colleague,

We are pleased to announce that Volume 6 of Religion and Society has been published by Berghahn Journals. This volume is marked by borders, boundaries, and limits. The borders here are those that make religion operative and politically powerful, as well as those that are enabled and put into place by religious arguments and worldviews. This issue features a Special Section exploring Borderlands and Religion.

Please visit the Berghahn website for more information about the journal: www.journals.berghahnbooks.com/air-rs
