The contributions in this volume show a balanced ratio between – highly needed – theoretical discussions and analysis of empirical material. They also more or less equally distribute according to prevalence awarded to either consumerism or neoliberalism as a driving force for religious change. Far from being exhaustive or even representative, it is a worthy and timely addition to the discussion on the rapports between marketization and religion.
