The first thorough assessment of the field of comparative religion
in forty years, this groundbreaking volume surmounts the seemingly
intractable division between postmodern scholars who reject the
comparative endeavor and those who affirm it. The contributors
demonstrate that a broader vision of religion, involving different
scales of comparison for different purposes, is both justifiable
and necessary.
"A Magic Still Dwells" brings together leading historians of
religions from a wide range of backgrounds and vantage points, and
draws from traditions as diverse as Indo-European mythology,
ancient Greek religion, Judaism, Buddhism, Ndembu ritual, and the
spectrum of religions practiced in America. The contributors take
seriously the postmodern critique, explain its impact on their
work, uphold or reject various premises, and in several cases
demonstrate new comparative approaches. Together, the essays
represent a state-of-the-art assessment of current issues in the
comparative study of religion.
