Reviews

[McCutcheon] stands in a long tradition of excellent company that goes back at least as far as classical Greek dramatists and philosophers who inquired persistently into the prevailing mythos....This book's likely to provoke very fruitful debate for many years.""-Choice McCutcheon's book is a sharp, sustained critique of the way religion is studied in North America, with an alternative proposal for a naturalist, materialist method of studying religion.""-The Cresser Trinity McCutcheon's book is a formidable critique of its subject and should be widely read and debated. It will repay close critical attention from those interested in theory and method.""-British Association for the Study of Religions Fascinating and thought-provoking.""-Religious Studies Review
