Religions on the Internet are today an important and vital subject in the field of Religious Studies. The focus in this volume is on identity processes, globalisation, migration, minoraity affairs and religions critique of information and communication technologies. The chapters illustrate on the one hand how religious groups use the Internet for discussing and expressing religious feelings and belongings, and on the other hand how the technology is being utilised for questioning religious authority and power. All chapters in the book were read at a conference, The Impact of Information and Communicaton Technologies on Religions, Ethnic, and Cultural Diaspora Communities in the West, that was organized by LearnIT in October 2003 and funded by the Knowledge Foundation, Sweden.

Göran Larsson, Ph.D., is a research fellow in the national research program LearnIT. He has published a large number of books, articles and reviews on Islam and Muslims in Europe.

The series Studies on Inter-religious Relations is issued in co-operation with different distributors and publishers. It is edited by Ingvar Svanberg (Study of Religions, Södertörn University) and David Westerlund (Study of Religions, Södertörn University).
