Vol. 9 No. 2 (2025)

This issue features eight original research articles authored by twenty-three scholars representing institutions across seven countries: Indonesia, Uzbekistan, Argentina, Malaysia, Croatia, and Timor-Leste. The contributions reflect a rich diversity of themes in Religious Studies, ranging from syncretic religiosity in Javanese folklore and the Islamization of traditional arts, to political bargaining and religious economy in historical constitutional contexts in Argentina. Other studies examine pastoral approaches to interfaith marriage prevention, interreligious coexistence and digital adaptation in rural Indonesia, and philosophical explorations of religiosity in Plato’s Theaetetus. Additionally, the issue presents a systematic review of Christological and contextual theological developments in Papua, as well as a global meta-analysis on the relationship between religiosity and quality of life.
