Abstract

This review addresses the book Religion and Organizations, which explores the religious ramifications shaping contemporary society. The book highlights how religious organizations, in their multiplicity, organize practices and management styles oriented by the divine, extending their influence beyond traditional temples. The work presents a provocative agenda, bringing together rich discussions from 13 authors from different Brazilian universities, who address issues related to religious action and symbolic identity. Presenting and discussing this theme from the perspective of Organizational Studies may generate some resistance in social science fields that examine religiosity from their own perspectives. However, the book aims to offer new analytical perspectives, deconstructing the view that organizational studies should be limited to instrumental, technical, and thus orthodox knowledge. The work is permeated by a methodology that seeks to deconstruct knowledge while promoting the transversality of understanding.
