Even more than before, this volume empowers students and scholars for this critical task!
With helpful updates and several new chapters, the authors provide incisive essays on some of the most important approaches to religious studies in recent decades. This welcome and timely introduction to disciplinary discussions will be useful to students and scholars alike.
Intentional and smart, this collection is just the right mix of comprehensive overview and intriguing detail. The book is an indispensable aid to understanding, and understanding more deeply, issues of identity, power, and subjectivity in the contemporary study of religion.
Minister and Bloesch’s book is an invaluable resource for teaching. The compelling case studies illustrate not only why theory matters, but how it can be an invaluable tool in trying to understand our multivocal cultural landscapes. By focusing on theorists writing in the second half of the 20thcentury, Minister and Bloesch both productively destabilize the term “religion” and clarify the human relationships and power structures the term often obscures.
In updating Cultural Approaches to Studying Religion, Bloesch and Minister once again showcase key voices that have influenced and changed the direction of religious studies. Engaging, exciting, and provocative: my students loved the first edition, and I look forward to teaching with this new and extended volume!
M. Cooper Minister is Associate Professor of Religion at Shenandoah University, USA Sarah J Bloesch is Teaching Assistant Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her teaching and research interests focus on Christianity, race, and sexuality in the United States.
