emergent religion  

Definition(s)

  • Emergent religion is an approach to religious identity and belonging that, while rooted in historical precedent, is situated and made at home in postmodern, postestablishment settings. First evident among Christians in “post-Christendom” contexts in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia/New Zealand, it has since manifested itself among Israeli, North American, and British Jews, and there are signs of emergence in American Islam.
