About the Journal
The journal is grounded in Indonesian and comparative experiences while remaining open to broader international discussions. PENAMAS prioritizes manuscripts that demonstrate strong empirical evidence, rigorous analytical frameworks, and original scholarly contributions. This journal focuses on the study of religion in everyday life and pluralistic societies, examining how religion is practised, interpreted, negotiated, institutionalised and transformed in everyday life. This includes religious traditions, practices and phenomena, as well as contemporary and modern aspects, and policies that affect them. PENAMAS accepts empirical, comparative and critical studies that contribute to contemporary academic debates on religion and society.
