This chapter looks closely at a related group of practices and beliefs: grave decoration, Christmas lore, folk sermons, baptism, and praying spots. It traces the New South practice of decorating graves with household objects to African cultural practices, and New South Christmas lore (and related lore) to legends circulating in modernizing England. Connecting these with other practices and oral forms common among folk Christians, it shows that they all display a strong sacramental impulse—the longing to manifest the sacred in tangible, material ways. While the dominant religious culture wrought a “disenchantment” of the world, the cultural work of folk Christians envisioned an enchanted world where seemingly ordinary, mundane things were transformed and infused with sacred meaning.

This chapter explores two interrelated oral forms: conversion and call narratives. It establishes that they were cultural productions of the New South era, and that they wove elements of African and European religious tradition together to craft a distinct understanding of Christianity’s place in the world—either as an initiate enters into it, or as a religious authority proclaims it. The speakers, dates, and geographic scope of these narratives are traced, and then a close analysis of the oral forms highlights their characteristic features. The vision articulated in the narratives is shown to be very different from the dominant religious culture, where religious authority was professionalized and Christianity was associated with the safe stability of the home. In sharp contrast, the narratives imagine the wildness and liminality of Christianity.

In John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress, the pilgrims cannot reach the Celestial City without passing through Vanity Fair, where everything is bought and sold. In recent years there has been much analysis of commerce and consumption in Britain during the long eighteenth century, and of the dramatic expansion of popular publishing. Similarly, much has been written on the extraordinary effects of the evangelical revivals of the eighteenth century in Britain, Europe, and North America. But how did popular religious culture and the world of print interact? What religious books were read, and how? Who chose them? How did they get into people’s hands? This study attempts to answer these questions in detail. It explores the works written, edited, abridged, and promoted by Protestant dissenters, Methodists both Arminian and Calvinist, and Church of England evangelicals in the period 1720 to 1800, while also looking back to seventeenth-century and earlier sources and forward to republication and dissemination up to the nineteenth century. Part I is concerned with the publishing and distribution of religious books by commercial booksellers and religious societies, and the means by which readers obtained them and how they responded to what they read. Part II shows that some of the most important publications were new versions of earlier nonconformist, episcopalian, Roman Catholic, and North American works. Part III explores the main literary kinds, including annotated Bibles, devotional guides, exemplary lives, and hymns. The book discusses c.200 writers and provides detailed case studies of popular and influential works.

The review pays special attention to the features of early Modern spiritual world and ideas of the Other by looking at the figures depicted on the triptych by Hieronymus Bosch. Paintings with biblical plots can give us information not only on the religious culture, but also on the secular world where the painter was living, displaying new discoveries of science, new lands and societies previously unknown to Europeans.

In Australia, new immigrant and ethnic communities constitute the largest segment of the phenomenon of increasing religious diversity and change. These groups celebrate and maintain a way of life and a religious culture from elsewhere, but they are also working in Australian society: not just resisting pressures for assimilation, but helping members to translate the norms and values of their land of origin into the new Australian context. In this process, a de-secularization of the world at both local and global levels occurs; indeed, while offering support to migrants, these groups offer a site of `cultural security' to them and simultaneously promote and diffuse their religion in Australia's public sphere. This article focuses on the Baha'i faith and Caodaism; two groups with an ever-increasing growth in the Western world, and an involvement at local, national and international levels. The research shows that these two groups have had different measures of success in Australia, highlighting the fact that the de-secularization process does not have the same intensity among these groups. This article aims at finding the reason behind this difference of intensity.

At seventy-three years old, John Quincy Adams embarked on a winter lecture tour to share his views “On Faith” and drew on his “intercourse with the world” to describe the “many liberal minded and intelligent persons—almost persuaded to become Christians” whom he had met. So powerful was Adams's religious message that when his youngest son came across the manuscript years later, he simply docketed it: “Two sermons/JQA.” The speech, delivered from Boston to Salem and Hartford to Brooklyn—but never printed—laid out his decades of seeking and the formulation of Adams's own theology. Overall, Adams came to believe that man's unity of faith, hope, and charity could defeat earthly ills and clarify choices in the early republic's burgeoning religious marketplace. “Faith must have its bounds, and perhaps the most difficult and delicate question in morals is to define them clearly,” Adams said, praising the American government's nonintervention in forming official articles of faith. “But allow me to say that this unbounded freedom of religious faith, far from absolving any individual from the obligation of believing, does but impose it upon them, with a tenfold force.” This insight was especially true of Adams's own religious history. Therefore this essay offers a reintroduction to America's sixth president based on the diverse circles of prayer that he moved through, and the religious poetics that he created to narrate that pilgrimage. It ends with a glimpse of the curious afterlife that American religious culture assigned to him.

Pilgrimage is one of the most common phenomena found in religious culture, occurring in just about every major religious tradition. Pilgrimage has adapted to a purportedly secularizing world, and even benefited from contemporary modes of transportation and communication. All pilgrims provide the message of human welfare, development of universe and religious and spiritual promotions for the welfare of society, way to truth, salvation and many more through interactions, observations of pilgrimage, but for understanding the cultural system in both intrinsic and extrinsic ways, or as insider and outsider, a human science paradigm would be better as it covers the totality thus attempting to reveal the “whole” of the culture, human psyche and functions at play.  It was found that no any kind of discriminations, differences, inequalities on the basis of caste, class, gender, ethnicity etc. among pilgrimage during the visit. Almost all respondents felt the harmony, cohesion and friendly during the visit though cross-border. All Shiva shrines promote the welfare of animals, human and the world.
