The rise of fundamentalist movements in major religions has forced decision-makers, development organizations and academics to turn their attention to its meaning for development. Global scholars and practitioners examine these issues and fundamentally question the secular-religious dichotomy in development discourse and practice.

This review synthesizes research about religion in the lives of post-1965 immigrants to the United States. Such research consists primarily of case studies, published since 1990, focused on individual religious organizations started and attended by immigrants. We analyze these case studies to demonstrate the different ways religion influences immigrants' adaptation in the United States. We then consider how religion informs immigrants' ethnic and gender-based identities, their experiences of civic and political life, and the lives of the second generation. We argue that current research is more descriptive than analytic overall, and we highlight a series of research questions and comparisons to enrich theoretical thinking. In particular, we advocate a comparative approach to examining immigrants' religious organizations and increased attention to a "lived religion" perspective, which takes seriously the ways religion is important for immigrants outside of religious organizations in social institutions, including civic organizations, families, workplaces, schools, and health-care organizations.

The article explores the genesis and varieties of the phenomenon of ideology, and its relationship with religion. It begins with the origins of the notion and term in Antoine Destutt de Tracy and Karl Marx, and then continues up to the most recent developments of conservative and liberal ideological schemata. The author pays particular attention to the totalitarian ideologies of Communism and Nazism. The article argues that ideology sometimes tried to replace religion, and sometimes mimicked it. In any case, it exercised a profound impact on churches. This impact is in most cases polarizing for the church, when the latter identifies itself with ideology and thus dramatically reduces itself. Among the instances of such an impact are "political Orthodoxy" in Ukraine, and the "Russian world" in Russia. The author concludes that the church should learn to distinguish what is ideological and what is theological.

Angesichts der Fluchtmigration nach Deutschland seit dem Jahr 2015 ist immer wieder die Rede von einer drohenden 'Islamisierung' Deutschlands. Gleichzeitig wird Religion, oder genauer: religiöse Verfolgung häufig als Fluchtgrund ausgemacht. Doch welche Rolle spielt Religion tatsächlich bei der Flucht? Und welche Bedeutung kommt ihr bei der Integration der Geflüchteten, die in Deutschland sesshaft werden (wollen), zu? Der Band enthält Beiträge einer interreligiösen und interdisziplinären Tagung an der Akademie St. Jakobushaus in Goslar, die den Zusammenhang von Flucht, Religion und Integration behandelte. Die Autorinnen und Autoren beleuchten die Thematik aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln und zeigen dabei auch Perspektiven der religiösen Pluralisierung Deutschlands auf.
