In part II, these perspectives are employed in the study of concrete religious practices - established as well as experimental religious practices, and collective as well as individual ones.By unfolding connections between theology and practice theories, and reflecting on practice theories' analytical and theoretical potential for theological study of religion, the book will be of interest for any scholar in the study of contemporary religion and practical theology UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110743791 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110743791 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110743791/original ER -
