This issue features six original research articles authored by 16 scholars from three countries: Indonesia, Nigeria, and South Africa. Two articles foreground gendered readings of religion and society, from women’s grassroots roles in coastal climate change adaptation framed through “Green Deen” to an existentialist feminist analysis of pregnancy and the female body in sacred narratives through the figure of Maryam a.s/Mary. Interreligious engagement is also explored through a philosophical-theological proposal that centers “encounter” as a pathway for dialogue in pluralistic settings. Questions of kinship, obligation, and post-bereavement vulnerability surface in a comparative study that places Deuteronomy 25:5–10 in conversation with contemporary levirate and widowhood practices in Amike Aba, Nigeria. The issue further examines the ethics of religious work through a critique of contemporary tentmaking ministry in South Africa, and closes with a cultural-religious inquiry into the commodification of Sekaten, tracing how da’wah, sacred space, and ritual meaning are negotiated when tradition becomes spectacle. These articles highlight how theology, ethics, gender, ecology, and lived religious practice intersect across diverse contexts.
