“…2 Scholars working on similar issues in American studies and the law have been more concerned with this process, however (see, e.g., McAlister, 2008McAlister, , 2018Su, 2016). 3 For the institutional history of American religions in these processes, see, for example, Demos (2014); Frey and Wood (1998); Gomez (1998);Silverman (2010);and Tinker (1993).…”

The last few decades have seen an immense expansion in the range of topics included in the field of American religion. The methodologies and overarching narratives of the field have, however, remained more static. Despite the inclusion of racialized minorities, women, and non-Christians in American religious history, the field has still tended to endorse a liberal integrationist narrative that minimizes the distinct positions of these and other groups in American religious life. New research conducted under the rubric of "religion and U.S. empire" offers one possible way forward for the field by reorienting narratives about American religion toward the study of how colonial systems produce terms such as religion, freedom, and pluralism. This new approach not only foregrounds the stories of colonized peoples but also allows their experiences to reframe how we narrate American religious history. This article discusses the background of the study of empire in U.S. history and religious studies, provides an overview of the main theoretical interventions of works in religion and U.S. empire, and concludes with a discussion of possible future directions for research in this field.

“…(p. 31) "Having a heart" (McAllister, 2008) for the congregational experience, stewards learn to regard technology as mere tool, to keep it "fixed" and purified as technical object. Yet, technologies continue to lure stewards into lustful idolatry that disrupts the transmission of the true Word.…”

In this introduction to a special section on the future for research on the topic of religion and geopolitics, some terminological, theoretical, methodological and analytical possibilities are set out. A distinction is drawn between 'religious geopolitics' and the 'geopolitics of religion' . Research published thus far on this intersection has limited thematic and topical scope. I further this critique by suggesting new theoretical and methodological possibilities by pointing out the poverty of thinking in the dualistic terms, religion/ secular. I conclude this introduction by providing four analytical approaches to the intersection between religion and geopolitics. The essays in this special section are attempts to present future coherence to this growing literature but also illustrate the many divergent possibilities.
