About this title

Synopsis

This book is the only Comprehensive Critique of the contemporary study of religion. It presents an overview and critical analysis of the study of religion in such diverse fields as the History of Religions, Phenomenology of Religion and Functionalism and provides a special chapter devoted to the problems of rationality and relativism in the Study of Religion. The final chapters defend structuralism as a resolution to the problem.

Review

�All scholars of religions and teachers of religious studies owe Penner a debt of gratitude for gathering into one place powerful critiques of some of the most popular approaches to the study of religion.� (Theodore M. Vial, The Journal of Religion)
�Penner has presented us with a tantalizing and engaging account of methodological issues in the study of religion; he has piqued our interest with case studies from specific religious traditions. I expect scholars to take 'Impasse and Resolution' very seriously indeed.� (E. Thomas Lawson, History of Religions)
�Penner's work...is highly valuable in the North American context.� (Tim Murphy, Method & Theory in the Study of Religion)
