Abstract
This issue of Oral History Forum d’Histoire orale brings together a rich and diverse collection of articles that collectively engage with oral history and religion. Broadly, these articles consider the complex roles played by religion in the daily lives of individuals in a variety of global locales. More specifically, because the study of religion and religious worlds is a tradition of inquiry that engages with the corporeal and ethereal, the political and the historical – without reducing it to any one – these works also show how oral history can render the realities of religious identity in its depth and complexity. That is, oral history reveals the connections and tensions between the religious individual and their community, between religion as prescribed, and religion as practiced. This collection of articles gives credence to the multiplicity of ways oral history as tool of scholarly inquiry can open up space for consideration of the real and significant religious worlds of those who inhabit and construct them.
