Entanglements

More about the book

The book presents a collection of eighteen essays that challenge the notion that scholarship on religion is secondary and lacks primary research. Spanning two decades, these responses highlight the dynamic nature of academic debate, questioning the distinctions between primary and secondary sources and between description and analysis. Each essay is accompanied by a new introduction that contextualizes the response and underscores its relevance to contemporary discussions in the academic study of religion, addressing issues like scholarly rhetoric and the complexities of perception.
