This collection illustrates the spectrum of ideas that people throughout history have had when considering how to understand and study religion.
The editors present a selection of key writings that reflect a broad range of voices on the nature and practice of the discipline.
Religious studies draws on works by anthropologists, sociologists, philosophers, theologians, and others, which notably impact our understanding of the concept of religion, of particular religious ideas, and on how religion should be studied.
