Abstract
Scholarly interest in emotion in general and religious emotion in particular revived in the last quarter of the twentieth century, in anthropology as well as other disciplines. The revival has made it easier to appreciate the important place of religious emotion in the anthropological tradition as a whole, and the variety of approaches to the subject. Approaches can be differentiated according to the focus of their interest: in the social basis of religious emotion, in its individual expressions, or in its entanglements with symbolic and material objects. All three emphases can be found within the anthropological tradition in various forms and combinations. Reflections on religious emotion and power relations, and on religious emotion in societies shaped by the wider currents of global capitalism, offer additional avenues of exploration.
