This book contributes to the discussions on the role of spirituality in organizing and leading, taking a philosophically and theologically rigorous perspective. Developing an approach to spirituality informed by Platonist philosophy and classical and mystical streams of Christian theology, the text re-assesses the role of religious insights and beliefs in contemporary theory and practice of management. It also engages critically with the more fundamental questions, such as the validity and limits of scientific method, the shaping of the cultural contexts of organizations, as well as the status of modern materialism. Spirituality and Religion in Organizing further discusses topics such as charismatic leadership, the ethics of martyrdom and the spiritual models of organizing from the perspective of the proposed metaphysical-theological stance.

Since Hirschi and Stark's (1969) surprising failure to find religious ("hellfire") effects on delinquency, subsequent research has generally revealed an inverse relationship between religiosity and various forms of deviance, delinquency, and crime. The complexity of the relationship and conditions under which it holds, however, continue to be debated. Although a few researchers have found that religion's influence is noncontingent, most have found support—especially among youths—for effects that vary by denomination, type of offense, and social and/or religious context. More recently the relationship has been reported as spurious when relevant secular controls are included. Our research attempts to resolve these issues by testing the religion‐crime relationship in models with a comprehensive crime measure and three separate dimensions of religiosity. We also control for secular constraints, religious networks, and social ecology. We found that, among our religiosity measures, participation in religious activities was a persistent and noncontingent inhibiter of adult crime.

Superheld*innen sind in der Krise: Gut und Böse, Richtig und Falsch sind nach starken sozialen und politischen Umbrüchen längst nicht mehr klar und eindeutig. Für das Genre ein eklatantes Problem. Religion und Glaube könnten hier Orientierung bieten, verlieren aber - so der gängige Vorwurf - ihrerseits immer stärker an Bedeutung in einer säkularen Welt. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes bieten einen ersten Zugang zu diesem Phänomen und kommen zu dem erstaunlichen Befund, dass religiöse Motivik dagegen ungebrochene Hochkonjunktur in der superheroischen Popkultur feiert. Figuren, Themen, Ikonographie, Symbole: Das religiöse Spielfeld des Superheroismus ist mannigfaltig.

In der deutschen, französischen und britischen Integrationspolitik hat sich in den letzten zehn Jahren ein erstaunliches Interesse an Religion und Religionsgemeinschaften entwickelt. Erlangt Religion allem Säkularisierungsdruck zum Trotz eine neue Bedeutung für die Gestaltung politischer Strategien? Lassen sich Konvergenzen zwischen den drei Ländern mit ihren bislang paradigmatisch unterschiedlichen Umgangsweisen mit Religion und Integration attestieren? Diese Fragen analysiert Christine Brunn anhand von qualitativen Inhaltsanalysen einschlägiger Regierungsdokumente. Den theoretischen Rahmen
