Examines the influence of religious identity on the wider social community from the perspective of theology and religious studies.

The understanding of identity in relation to community has been a focus of academic studies in recent years. An exclusive self-understanding of the identity of one’s own community, coupled with a hostile attitude toward other communities, often leads to communal conflicts. In particular, it is important to notice the significance of religion in the re-shaping of community identities in this process. This volume focuses first on communal or corporate understanding of identity. Secondly, this volume will assess the topic of identity from the perspectives of theology and religious studies. Thirdly, the volume will seek to address the issue of interaction between religious communities and wider society by looking at case studies from the Yorkshire area.
