"Critically examining the notion of 'world religions', Charles D. Orzech compares
five purpose-built museums of world religions and their online extensions. Inspired
by the 19th and 20th century discipline of comparative religion, these museums seek
to promote religious tolerance by representing religious diversity and by arguing
for underlying kinship among religions. From locations in Europe (Marburg, Glasgow
and St Petersburg), to North America (Quebec) to Asia (Taipei), each museum advances
a particular cultural history. This book shows how the curation of the objects they
contain shapes public perceptions of religion, giving material form to the discourses
about religion and world religions. Raising important questions about religion and
secularity, museum displays and religious piety, Museums of World Religions questions
the ideology that informs these museums. Building on recent anthropological work on
the agency of religious objects, the author critiques these museums and suggests new
approaches to displaying the matter of religion"
