Abstract
The topic of regionalisation is debated within European politics and Academia, but its topicality is hardly reflected in the History of Religions, in spite of the fact that a region may be an explicit or implicit spatial category in many studies of religion. This article sketches some understandings of the concept of region and approaches to regional studies among contemporary historians, geographers and others. In addition, some of the connections ‐ actual or imagined ‐ between regions and religion are discussed, exemplified by the regional impact of two popular religious movements in Norway.
