Abstract

This issue of YJMR includes three articles featuring three case studies that represent different religious worlds and historical moments. In each, the interplay of the above three factors—medium, forms and norms, and religious contest—can be clearly discerned. With all the differences (and a few commonalities) these three case studies comprise, they share one important feature: the agents of conflict, in all cases, were (or still are) courageous people who fought for their ideas and practices.
