All Religion Is Inter-Religion analyses the ways inter-religious
relations have contributed both historically and philosophically to
the constructions of the category of "religion" as a distinct
subject of study. Regarded as contemporary classics, Steven M.
Wasserstrom's Religion after Religion (1999) and Between Muslim and
Jew (1995) provided a theoretical reorientation for the study of
religion away from hierophanies and ultimacy, and toward lived
history and deep pluralism. This book distills and systematizes
this reorientation into nine theses on the study of religion.
Drawing on these theses--and Wasserstrom's opus more generally--a
distinguished group of his colleagues and former students
demonstrate that religions can, and must, be understood through
encounters in real time and space, through the complex relations
they create and maintain between people, and between people and
their pasts. The book also features an afterword by Wasserstrom
himself, which poses nine riddles to students of religion based on
his personal experiences working on religion at the turn of the
twenty-first century.
