How do religious individuals, communities, and political institutions navigate diversity and how do they foster social cohesion? This volume focuses on convivial practices in religiously diverse settings and includes theoretical, empirical, and practice-oriented approaches. Through an interdisciplinary lens the contributors examine conceptual reflections, boundary work, rituals, multilingualism, and spatial dynamics. This volume represents an important milestone in conviviality research and provides valuable insights for further research in the fields of theology, religious studies, and sociology.
