Description

Over the course of a career of more than forty years, Jonathan Z.

Smith was among the most important voices of critical reflection within the academic study of religion, distinguishing himself as perhaps the most influential theorist of religion of the last half century.

Among his significant body of work are essays and lectures on teaching and the essential role of academic scholarship on religion in matters of education and public policy.

The interviews and essay published here display something of the dynamic, thinking-on-his feet liveliness that Smith brought to questions about the study of religion, his theoretical preferences, and his methods of teaching.

With refreshing candidness and clarity, Reading J.Z.

Smith offers an often provocative introduction to discussions on issues that still dominate the complex and continually changing critical conversations in the academic study of religion.
