内容説明・目次
内容説明
This book offers a clear, concise introduction to the meaning of problematic terms, and the ways in which they should be handled legitimately. Each entry considers the following:
- Why is this concept problematic?
- What are the origins of the concept?
- How is it used or misused, and by whom?
- Is it still a legitimate concept in the study of religion and, if so, what are its legitimate uses?
- Are there other concepts that are preferable when writing on religion?
Concepts covered include: belief, religion, magic, secularization and violence.
This is a jargon-free, indispensable resource for students and scholars that encourages the critical use of terms in the study of religion.
