Editorial Reviews
"The author rightly takes on the elusive and all too ambiguous conceptual scope of the category 'religion.' The present volume fills a discernible gap in the theory of religion." --Michael Hawley, Mount Royal University
"An exciting, timely, and necessary departure from the standard approach to World Religion readers." -- Angela Sumegi, Carleton University
