Over the course of a career of more than forty years, Jonathan Z.
Smith was among the most important voices of critical reflection
within the academic study of religion, distinguishing himself as
perhaps the most influential theorist of religion of the last half
century. Among his significant body of work are essays and lectures
on teaching and the essential role of academic scholarship on
religion in matters of education and public policy. The interviews
and essay published here display something of the dynamic,
thinking-on-his feet liveliness that Smith brought to questions
about the study of religion, his theoretical preferences, and his
methods of teaching. With refreshing candidness and clarity,
Reading J.Z. Smith offers an often provocative introduction to
discussions on issues that still dominate the complex and
continually changing critical conversations in the academic study
of religion.
