In an era of increasing religious diversity and fluid identities, this book challenges conventional understandings of faith, identity, and religious affiliation. Drawing from intercultural philosophy, theology, religious studies, and social sciences, Daan F. Oostveen examines how individuals navigate belonging to multiple religious traditions, from Christian-Buddhist dual belonging to more fluid spiritual practices. Through a comparative approach, the book explores Western and Chinese perspectives on religious hybridity, critiques the limitations of the world religions paradigm, and introduces rhizomatic belonging as a groundbreaking framework for understanding religious multiplicity. Engaging with Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophy, feminist and postcolonial critiques, and lived religion studies, it offers a fresh perspective on how religious identities are shaped in today’s interconnected world. This book is essential reading for scholars of religious studies, philosophy, anthropology, and theology, as well as anyone interested in the evolving landscape of religious belonging in a globalized society.
