Reviews
"""The Oxford Handbook of the Study of Religion is an impressively thorough treatment, and it's difficult to imagine a single volume that could accomplish a more complete survey of the field of religious studies.""--C. Travis Webb, Reading Religion""[A] major new contribution to the growing body of reference volumes in the study of religion At their best, the chapters in this volume place contemporary debates in historical context, introduce key figures, helpfully schematize the literature, puncture stereotypes, relate topics to multiple religious traditions, and suggest avenues for further research.""--Liane F. Carlson, Journal of the American Academy of Religion"
