"The Cambridge Companion to Religious Studies is both informative and provocative,
introducing readers to key debates in the contemporary study of religion and suggesting
future research possibilities. A group of distinguished scholars takes up some of
the most pressing theoretical questions in the field. What is a "religious tradition"?
How are religious texts read? What takes place when a religious practitioner stands
before a representation of gods or goddesses, ghosts, ancestors, saints, and other
special beings? What roles is religion playing in contemporary global society? The
volume emphasizes religion as a lived practice, stressing that people have used and
continue to use religious media to engage the circumstances of their lives. This underlying
conviction provides a realistic perspective on religion, and the volume,♯s̥ essays
engage with real-world religious practices. The volume,♯s̥ essays should prove valuable
and interesting to a broad audience, including scholars in the humanities and social
sciences and a general readership, as well as students of religious studies"--
