Articles added in October

I keep an ever-growing list of articles on the topic of religion online. In the month of October I added 40 entries to it. A lot of them dating back several years, some goes back 12. As I am new to the field I need to familiarize myself with the older materials too, so recency would not reign over relevancy. The list below includes the seven fresh, (published in October) articles I mentioned two days ago. Below is  the most important parts of the list. The full version, with links and abstracts, is here.
