| 520 | |a A Modest Proposal on Method further documents methodological and institutional failings in the academic study of religion. This collection of essays-which includes three previously unpublished chapters-identifies the manner in which old problems (like the presumption that our object of study is a special, deeply meaningful case) yet remain in the field.

Each chapter is introduced and contextualized by a newly written, substantive introduction. | ||
