Contributors to this volume include leading social scientists engaged in systematic studies of how organizations and individuals are presenting religion on the Internet. Their combined efforts provide a conceptual mapping of religion in cyberspace at this moment. The individual papers and collective insights found in this volume add up to a valuable agenda of research that will enrich understanding of this new phenomenon. Among the contributors are the founders of three of the most important scholarly religion web sites on the Internet: American Religion Data Archive, Religious Tolerance, and Religious Movements Homepage. Religion and the Internet is essential reading for all who seek to understand how religion is being presented on the Internet and how this topic is likely to unfold in the years ahead.

Echchaibi KW - Digital KW - Digital Religion KW - Negotiation KW - New Media KW - power KW - Research KW - Third Spaces AB - The emergence of new modes of digital communicative practice has had both lay and scholarly discourses struggling to adapt. The descriptive challenge is, indeed, a formidable one as the range and depth of emergent implications in technology, society, culture, and practice continues to develop. The trajectories that flow out of "the digital" into individual, social, and cultural space seem nearly limitless in extent and scope, at the same time that many voices are urging caution in expecting or claiming too much for these practices JF - Finding Religion in the Media: Work in Progress on the Third Spaces of Digital Religion PB - Center for Media, Religion and Culture CY - University of Colorado UR - http://cmrc.colorado.edu/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Hoover-Echchaibi-paper.pdf ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Researching Individuals Religious in the Context of the Internet JF - Online: Heidelberg Journal of Religion on the Internet Y1 - 2005 A1 - Meier, Gernot KW - Individuals KW - internet KW - Research VL - 1 UR - http://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserver/volltexte/2005/5827/pdf/Meier3.pdf IS - 1 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The Essentiality of “Culture” in the Study of Religion and Politics JF - Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion Y1 - 2011 A1 - Laura R. Olson KW - analysis KW - culture KW - Politics KW - religion KW - Research KW - Sociology of religion KW - study of religion KW - theoretical approaches AB - This article reviews various theoretical approaches political scientists employ in the analysis of religion and politics and posits culture as a conceptual bridge between competing approaches. After coming to the study of religion slowly in comparison with other social science disciplines, political science finally has a theoretically diverse and thriving religion and politics subfield. However, political scientists’ contributions to the social scientific study of religion are hampered by a lack of agreement about whether endogenous or exogenous theoretical approaches ought to dominate our scholarship. I assert that the concept of culture—and more specifically, subculture—might help create more connections across theoretical research traditions. I emphasize how the concept of religion-based subculture is inherent in psychological, social psychological, social movement, and contextual approaches to religion and politics scholarship, and I explore these theoretical connections using the example of religion-based “us versus them” discourses in contemporary American politics.
