Religion
The religion area of OHO provides new essays on critical topics and emerging issues in the study of religion, complementing hundreds of essays on Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism and cross-cultural thematic studies that are part of the rich trove of Oxford Handbooks in religion. All of these essays can be accessed individually through key word searches related to the religious traditions, thematic fields, and analytic approaches covered in this comprehensive collection of essays, authored by some of the most authoritative scholars in religious studies. A scholarly editorial board monitors the development of this collection and ensures its academic relevance and competency.

OUP: As a previous Oxford Handbook editor, what appealed to you about this online resource?
Juergensmeyer: I'm excited to be part of an innovative publishing venture that is able to respond quickly and effectively to new ideas and new research without the ponderous processes that print journals and books necessitate. Now for the first time scholars and students in religious studies can turn to an authoritative site in religious studies to find not only the reliable coverage of the field that is already offered in the Oxford Handbooks in print, but also new essays on breaking research and fresh ideas that complement Oxford's wide-ranging publications in the field.
OUP: What aspects of the project are most exciting to you on a personal level?
Juergensmeyer: For me personally it is an opportunity to keep abreast of what is happening, to work together with a terrific editorial board of scholars, and to share these ideas, insights, and nuggets of information with my colleagues in the field.
