| Summary: | The transnational turn has generated new ways of thinking about borders and phenomena that cross them, including religion. Nevertheless, there is little agreement on what kinds of processes the terms “transnationalism” and “globalization” refer to and to what extent they represent something new.

This introduction discusses the ways that the contributors to this issue attend to the role that the transnational imagination plays in religious discourse and practice. |
