Abstract
ABSTRACT Recent studies of Cham Bani religious communities in what is now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam have highlighted that these communities are particularly ‘unorthodox,’ concerning ‘normative’ Islam or that they are ‘syncretic.’ Drawing upon a combination of anthropological and historical methods, we suggest that the concept of shared resonances is helpful for scholars in the field of Religious Studies. The existence of shared resonances describes why Cham Bani conceptions of divinities may resemble those of other communities, ranging from Animist (Cham Jat) to Cham particularist Hinduism (Cham Ahiér), while still leaving space for conceptions of divinities to be articulated by individual practitioners.
