What is religion? Can it be defined at all? Or is it too easily
defined in far too many ways so as to make a religion a drifting
signifier or whatever one's pleasure is? Does the study of religion
require special, perhaps religious, tools of analysis and
explanation? What is the difference between a knowledge of religion
derived from practicing it and a knowledge about religion derived
from nonreligious modes of inquiry? Sooner or later, any serious
student of religion must face these questionsif religious practices
are to be investigated in the light of the terms and aims of the
social and human sciences in the modern university.The Guide to the
Study of Religion provides a map of the key concepts and
thought-structures for imagining and studying religion as a class
of everyday social practices that lend themselves to no more or
less difficult explanation than any other class of social
phenomena.
