The Handbook of Leaving Religion introduces a neglected field of research with the aim to outline previous and contemporary research, and suggest how the topic of leaving religion should be studied in the future. The handbook consists of three sections: 1) Major debates about leaving religion; 2) Case studies and empirical insights; and 3) Theoretical and methodological approaches. Section one provides the reader with an introduction to key terms, historical developments, major controversies and significant cases. Section two includes case studies that illustrate various processes of leaving religion from different perspectives, and each chapter provides new empirical insights. Section three discusses, presents and encourages new approaches to the study of leaving religion.

Recenzii

"The volume’s scope is impressive, its structure is cogent and complementary, and its contributors offer approachable analyses of deconversion and disaffiliation. Readers new to the field will encounter accessible explanations of basic concepts and core debates, while those familiar with scholarship on apostasy will find a battery of case studies to examine and challenges to meet." - Kristian Klippenstein, in: Nova Religio 24:1, 2020.
"The anthology takes a broad approach, encompassing historical debates on topics of conversion, contemporary case studies from a range of traditions, including established institutions like Catholicism, new religious or spiritual practices like Vipassana meditation, asylum seekers leaving Islam for Christianity, and chapters approaching the topic from a range of subfields within religious studies. (...) The anthology offers a berth for studies that are topical and important. (...) I would still recommend this book to religious studies scholars looking for a work dealing with the complexities of religious identity in historical and contemporary contexts, who are also interested in a handbook for undergraduate students introducing the available methodological and theoretical approaches within religious studies." - Evelina Lundmark, Uppsala University, Sweden/University of Kent, UK, in: Temenos: Nordic Journal of Comparative Religion 56: 2, 2020.
"Now that the study of conversion has a well-established niche in religious scholarship, it is only natural that the reverse phenomenon, namely the study of ‘deconversion' (‘disaffiliation’, ‘losing religion’), should emerge. This volume indicates clearly that this developing field of inquiry can yield significant insights into the dynamics of the contemporary religious scene. (...) By drawing attention to the need to study the phenomenon of leaving religion, by providing an impressive range of intriguing case studies, by highlighting the problems encountered by scholars engaging in such studies, and by suggesting theoretical and methodological ways of addressing these problems, the entire volume provides nothing less than an initiation into a promising field of inquiry taking shape within the academic study of contemporary religion."
- Theodore Pulcini, Dickinson College, USA, in: Journal of Contemporary Religion, 35:3 (2020).
