Richard King's Orentalism and Religion is an impressive and truly cross-disciplinary study that tackles head on some of the field's most deeply ingrained yet troublesome presumptions. This book promises to set the terms for future debates on the status, methods and theories of religion. -Russell McCutcheon, Southwest Missouri State University An insightful and provocative contribution to recent series of studies that can be best characterized as 'colonial discourse analysis'. -Gerald Larson, Indiana University This is an important book. The main theme, the 'othering' of the East, is highly significant and original, painstakingly documented, and with major implications for western scholarship. -Grace Jantzen, University of Manchester
