Leif-Hagen Seibert carries out a three-step praxeological analysis of empirical data from field studies in the research project âThe ethos of religious peace buildersâ that allows for novel assessments of societal conjuncture (field theory), subjective meaning (habitus analysis), and the mutual ârules of engagementâ of religious practice (the religious nomos). Over the course of this three-step argument, the sociological concept of religious credibility â i.e. the determinants of religious legitimacy â gains more and more contours and facilitates the reevaluation of risks and chances in a peace process where religion is a vector for both peace and division.
