The sociology of religion is globalizing hesitantly, but still gives little attention to Asia. We need to extend our current debates and our best concepts to Asian societies. The many challenging phenomena include the resurgence of religions, debates and struggles over the political role of religion, the variety of religionstate interactions, and the impact of power on religions and theologies. For such questions, Asia is much more diverse than Europe and North America, and we should not shrink from trying to enhance our collective empirical and theoretical competence through study of Asian cases. We need to globalize more deliberately and here some possible suggestions are offered.
