Interest in theories of religion has never been greater.
Scholars debate single theoretical approaches in different
scholarly journals, while the new atheists such as Richard Dawkins
and Daniel Dennett criticize the whole idea of religion. For
everyone eager to understand the current state of the field,
Contemporary Theories of Religion surveys the neglected landscape
in its totality.
Michael Stausberg brings together leading scholars of the field
to review and discuss seventeen contemporary theories of religion.
As well as scholars of religion, it features anthropologists,
archaeologists, classicists, evolutionary biologists, philosophers
and sociologists. Each chapter provides students with background
information on the theoretician, a presentation of the theory 's
basic principles, an analysis of basic assumptions, and a review of
previous critiques. Concluding with a section entitled 'Back and
Forth', Stausberg compares the different theories and points to
further avenues of discussion for the future.
