Writing History, Constructing Religion presents a much-needed
interdisciplinary exploration of the significance of debates among
historians, scholars of religion and cultural theorists over the
'nature' of history to the study of religion. The distinguished
authors discuss issues related to definitions of history,
postmodernism, critical theory, and the impact on the study and
analysis of religious traditions; exploring the application of
writing 'history from below', discussions of 'truth' and
'objectivity' as opposed to power and ideology, crises of
representation, and the place of theory in the 'historicized' study
of religion(s). Addressing conceptual debates in a wide range of
historical and empirical contexts, the authors critically engage
with issues including religious nationalism, Nazism, Islam and the
West, secularism, religion in post-Communist Russia, ethnicity and
post modernity. This book constitutes a significant step towards
the self-reflexive and interdisciplinary study of religions in
history.
