Vol. 6 No. 3 (2022)

This issue comprises 9 original research articles contributed by 20 authors from 6 countries: Indonesia, Germany, the Netherlands, India, Australia, and Malaysia. The articles reflect a wide range of critical themes in contemporary religious studies, including the reimagination of indigenous African spiritualities, post-pandemic theological frameworks for human resource management, the use of symbols as survival strategies in Christianity, and interfaith conflict resolution rooted in cultural wisdom. Further contributions explore gender and religiosity through the lens of Maria Theresia Geme's activism, historical depictions of the Prophet Muhammad in Western scholarship, and the interplay between religious authority and state power during the COVID-19 pandemic. The issue concludes with ethnographic studies on Sayid political-religious identity in South Sumatra and mystical farming practices in Javanese manuscripts—illustrating how religious identity, memory, and tradition continue to shape social resilience and adaptation across diverse contexts.
