Reviews
This book will give a fresh impetus to debate in religious studies and religious education journals, and further volumes exploring the issues will appear as a result. Timothy Fitzgerald, University of Stirling, Scotland After World Religions offers practical guidance both for complicating the World Religions model in pedagogical contexts and for rethinking the introductory course altogether. The chapters of After World Religions are an excellent tool box for those instructors (both young and old) looking to break out of what is increasingly regarded as a deeply problematic paradigm.
