**Paul Post**

Paul Post (1953) studied theology and liturgical studies in Utrecht and Christian art and archaeology in Rome. He is an emeritus professor of Ritual Studies at Tilburg University. His main interests are in the field of liturgy, popular religion and Christian art, and (post)modern developments in rituals, on which he has published books and articles. In recent years, the focus of his research has been on ritual space and place, pilgrimage and tourism, and cyberritual. He is now involved in three larger research projects: on redundant church buildings and ritual conversion, absent rituals, and disaster rituals.
