This book addresses the need for a reassessment of issues relating to identity in the light of current transformations in society as a whole and religion in particular. Drawing together case-studies from many different expressions of faith and belief, leading scholars ask how contemporary religions or spiritualities respond to the challenge of forming individual and collective identities in a nation context.
