Reviews

Stereotyping Religion II shows, in clear straightforward examples, how the way we think about things limits what we can see. The authors of these chapters demonstrate how stereotypes erase some possibilities and make other seem inevitable, rooted in the very nature of reality. Even more, they show how stereotypes held across the political spectrum are incompatible, opening up new ways of thinking through some of our most vexing issues. * Julie Ingersoll, Professor of Religious Studies, University of North Florida, USA * Another set of popular conceptions are challenged in this fine volume, demonstrating forcefully the need to continue shaking common assumptions about religion. * Teemu Taira, Senior Lecturer of Religious Studies, University of Helsinki, Finland *
