If piety, faith, and conviction constitute one side of the
religious coin, then imperfection, uncertainty, and ambivalence
constitute the other. Yet, scholars tend to separate these two
domains and place experiences of inadequacy in everyday religious
life - such as a wavering commitment, religious negligence or
weakness in faith - outside the domain of religion 'proper.'
Straying from the Straight Path breaks with this tendency by
examining how self-perceived failure is, in many cases, part and
parcel of religious practice and experience. Responding to the need
for comparative approaches in the face of the largely separated
fields of the anthropology of Islam and Christianity, this volume
gives full attention to moral failure as a constitutive and
potentially energizing force in the religious lives of both Muslims
and Christians in different parts of the world.
