How do we account for the multiplicity of sacred forms in the pluralist societies of today's Europe? How do we account for the persistence and remarkable adaptability of traditional forms of the Christian sacred? How do we make sense of the colonized sacred that has come to haunt museums holding ethnographic collections of colonial origin across Europe? How do we explain the ongoing allure of instrumentalizing the sacred for political purposes, including warfare and the execution of excessive violence? And what do we make of the spread of nature spiritualities that have been so pertinent over the last half century that scholars wonder about the emergence of a new kind of "dark green religion"? This volume seeks to reflect upon how these multiple sacralizations can be studied and understood in historical and cross-disciplinary perspective.
