The literature on religiosity and entrepreneurship is fragmented, and yet, this concept hardly discussed by scholars in terms of integrating the available studies. The purpose of this study is to provide systematic review of contributions related to religiosity and entrepreneurship, and propose future research lines. The synthesis of literature evaluates research studies that are covered in the Web of Science index. This study provides grey areas that need to explore further by connecting dots between religiosity and entrepreneurship using theoretical integration, methodological and empirical investigation. A new research avenue arises for both empirical and conceptual by highlighting religiosity as a driving force for entrepreneurial activity. Future research lines can examine the effectiveness of different type of temporal collaboration approach under shed of religiosity principals in an entrepreneurial ecosystem. In addition, this review provides opportunity to scholars, academicians and practitioners a better understanding of the religiosity value and link with entrepreneurship.
