    From the Trees to the Wood: Alternative Spirituality as an Emergent 'Official Religion'?

  • Original language description

    In this introductory study, we place the articles collected in this special issue on &apos;spirituality&apos; in a more general context. In so doing, we contest the idea that alternative spirituality is best studied within the conceptual framework of the &apos;vernacular.&apos; We argue that such an approach tends to unintentionally overstate the empirical particularities and overlook the broader aspects of the subject in question, which results in unreflexively accepting alternative spirituality&apos;s own claim that it is &apos;doctrine-free&apos; and &apos;non-institutional&apos; by nature. Contrary to this claim, we show that alternative spirituality is (a) pregnant with a distinguishable doctrine despite being glocal and inventive; (b) profoundly social and effectively socialized; (c) about to be visibly socially organized and institutionalized; and (d) a way of addressing and redressing the key existential issues of human life, just as any other religion.
