Entanglements

The book presents a critical examination of the academic discourse surrounding the study of religion, challenging the notion that such scholarship lacks primary research value. It features eighteen essays spanning two decades, highlighting the dynamic nature of academic debate. Each piece questions the conventional distinctions between primary and secondary sources, as well as description and analysis. Accompanied by new introductions, the essays explore the complexities of scholarly claims and the challenges of re-evaluating our perceptions of religion and its study.
