Realitas: Journal of Religion and Social Studies

Focus and Scope

Realitas: Journal of Religion and Social Studies is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research papers and scholarly reviews in the fields of religious studies, cross-cultural studies, interfaith dialogue, and the intersection of religion with society, media, and culture.
