Focus and Scope

Religious: Jurnal Studi Agama-agama dan Lintas Budaya is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research papers and scholarly reviews in the fields of religious studies, cross-cultural studies, interfaith dialogue, and the intersection of religion with society, media, and culture. The journal is dedicated to promoting critical, interdisciplinary perspectives on religion, with a particular emphasis on Southeast Asia and the Global South. By highlighting the lived realities, spiritual expressions, and inter-religious interactions in these contexts, Religious seeks to enrich global academic discourses with voices, insights, and experiences that are often underrepresented. The journal welcomes contributions from scholars and researchers worldwide, especially those engaged in cross-regional or comparative studies.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

All submissions to this journal undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the academic quality and integrity of the published research. The journal encourages the submission of innovative and original manuscripts that contribute to the advancement of theory, methodology, and new analytical techniques in the fields of religious studies, anthropology of religion, sociology of religion, and comparative religion.

This journal is committed to promoting open access to scholarly research and aims to make knowledge accessible to a wider audience, including faculty members, researchers, and students in developing countries who may lack access to costly academic journals. It also strives to foster collaboration and partnerships among scholars in the ASEAN region and beyond, facilitating the exchange of ideas and knowledge across disciplines and cultural boundaries.
