Religious Studies

Looking at how the field has changed over the last six decades, this study examines the academic study of religion from an international standpoint. The author reviews approaches that have emerged recently in comparative scholarship and applies them across the globe.

The book is organised into ten chapters, each devoted to the study of religion in one part of the world. The regions range from Europe and the Americas to East and South Asia, and the text lists a set of further subjects it treats, though the detail is not given here. It is intended for scholars, researchers and graduate students who want a reference on the discipline.
