Abstract

[This chapter is dedicated to the theoretical presentation of the religious repertoire model. Religious repertoires are comprised of a single, pivotal religious practice and two additional degrees of practice, which I call “periphery” and “inactive forms.” Distinction between the three categories is grounded in de facto religious practice: The religious pivot represents the religious form most persistently practiced; the periphery represents forms practiced with lesser intensity; and inactive forms refer to religious traditions and denominations that, though presently unpracticed, have been practiced in the past and have thus maintained their potentiality for reengagement. New religious forms are incorporated into individual repertoires through a process of familiarization whereby, through practicing a religious form, the practitioner crosses an imaginary “familiarity threshold.” Familiar forms are thus brought into the practitioner’s religious repertoire, which is defined as a given arrangement of all religious forms familiar to the individual.]
