The Handbook of Research on Diversity and Gender Differences in Spiritual Experiences discusses diversity in multidimensional perspectives such as religion, gender, sex, the degree of acceptance in the public sphere, the ideological commitment to values of diversity, and the increasing scope of acceptability of multiple layers of diversity in society. It further interrogates how religious diversity manifests itself in society, how it provides sites for political contestation and stratification as well as inclusion and exclusion, how it affects other social dimensions, and how to respond to it in the effect toward a more peaceable and just society.
