This issue includes seven original research articles authored by 13 scholars from five countries: Indonesia, Germany, the United Kingdom, Brunei Darussalam, and Malaysia. This edition explores a diverse range of contemporary religious themes and socio-cultural dynamics. Topics include the reciprocal relationship between religion and urban space, existential engagement with scripture in everyday contexts, and the psychological dimensions of terrorist religiosity. Other studies examine the management of urban mosques amid social tensions, religious conversion among Indonesian-Chinese public figures, indigenous resistance to global religious agendas in Aceh Singkil, and the contestation of religious authority through fatwa dissemination in the post-truth era. Collectively, these articles offer multidisciplinary insights into how religion adapts, negotiates, and asserts itself within shifting public and private spheres.
