Whilst these are, of course, very distinct academic enterprises, we believe that there are a number of reasons for thinking that the former can help with the investigation of the latter. First, the two enterprises share a common concern with the rules governing society, although the normative principles in which political theory is interested may be rather more abstract than the extant bodies of law which preoccupy legal scholars. Second, they both focus on how these rules impact on certain aspects of individuals' identities, although the former's concern with cultural identity is rather broader than the latter's focus on specifically religious identity. Third, they have views about the significance of the diversity of such identities for contemporary societies in general, and for their political and legal systems in particular. As a result of these overlapping concerns, we believe that multicultural political theory can bring a relevant yet distinctive perspective to bear on matters law and religion, a perspective which is worth consideration by legal scholars","PeriodicalId":367810,"journal":{"name":"Research Handbook on Interdisciplinary Approaches to Law and Religion","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123260279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dominant theoretical tradition, the secularisation thesis often ignored the detail of the experiences or practices within particular religions, since it was assumed that these were backward looking or dying out. Today, by contrast, religion is more likely to be viewed positively in relation to a soulless and destructive modernity, and there is a great interest in religious experiences and practices. Alongside the ever present quantitative survey research, a significant portion of the revival of religious studies has been made up of qualitative case studies pursued by anthropologists and sociologists, using a range of methodologies including phenomenology, hermeneutics, narrative analysis and 'thick description' and also by 'micro' or 'interpretive' traditions in sociology.","PeriodicalId":367810,"journal":{"name":"Research Handbook on Interdisciplinary Approaches to Law and Religion","volume":"170 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131096782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
