As we enter the 21st century, it becomes increasingly difficult to
envisage a world detached from religion or an anthropology blind to
its study. Yet, how people become religious is still poorly
studied. This volume gathers some of the most distinguished
scholars in the field to offer a new perspective for the study of
religion, one that examines the works of transmission and
innovation through the prism of learning. They argue that religious
culture is socially and dynamically constructed by agents who are
not mere passive recipients but engaged in active learning
processes. Finding a middle way between the social and the
cognitive, they see learning religions not as a mechanism of
downloading but also as a social process with its relational
dimension. David Berliner is an Assistant Professor at the
Universite Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium). He received his PhD from
University of Brussels (2002). In 2001 he was a visiting PhD
student at Saint Cross College, Oxford, and in 2003-2005 a
post-doctoral fellow at Harvard University. Ramon Sarro is a Senior
Research Fellow at the Institute of Social Sciences, Lisbon. He
read anthropology in London (PhD 1999). In 2000-2002 he was the
Ioma Evans-Pritchard Junior Research Fellow at Saint Anne's
College, Oxford. His publications include Surviving Iconoclasm:
Religious and Political Transformation on the Upper Guinea Coast
(Edinburgh University Press, 2006)."
