Failure and Nerve in the Academic Study of Religion presents a
provocative critique of the unwillingness of modern scholars to
publically distinguish research into comparative religion from
confessional studies written within denominationally-affiliated
institutions. The book offers the 19th Century founders of the
study of religion as a bracing corrective to contemporary timidity.
The issue was analysed and documented by Wiebe a quarter of a
century ago. Here, marking Wiebe's work, a wide range of
contributors reassess the methodology and ambition of contemporary
religious research. The book argues that conceptualizing religion
as part of the world of human action and experience is the first
requirement of the study of religion.
