To mark the contribution of one of the most influential theorists
of religion, thirty-one leading scholars of religion from around
the world put their minds together to work on problems of
introducing "religion": as a category of human social practices, as
a term that must be subject to scholarly theorizing, as a subject
that must be carefully presented to students in the classroom. The
claim of this volume is that the disciplined, cross-cultural and
comparative study and teaching of religion in the academy is
closely tied to the multi-level task of "introducing" (in the Latin
sense of introducere) religion, of taking religion inside the
academic discourses in the humanities and social sciences, of
taking students - whether career academics or college students -
inside religion as a set of ordinary human practices rather than
initiating them into a sanctum of extraordinary knowledge about
extraordinary things.
