On Making a Shift in the Study of Religion and Other Essays

Más información sobre el libro

The book argues for a revitalized approach to the study of religion, asserting that the phenomenology of religion remains influential despite claims of its decline. Drawing on the experiences of the University of Alabama's Religious Studies Department, it offers practical strategies for scholars to reframe their teaching and research. By viewing religion as a reflection of universal social elements rather than a unique experience, the authors advocate for a perspective that enhances interdisciplinary dialogue within the Humanities and Social Sciences.
