Religion and Cultural Studies

"A compelling book that will contribute significantly to the revitalization of academic religious studies. What makes this collection particularly welcome and distinctive is not only its tone of sympathetic engagement but also the imaginative reach and mobility of its essays. From Jonathan Z. Smith's discussion of alien encounters to Jack Miles's sensitive account of John Cage's 'silent' compositions, this book deploys the techniques of cultural studies to clarify rather than obfuscate and to deepen rather than trivialize."--Andrew Delbanco, Columbia UniversityMizruchi, Susan L. is the author of 'Religion and Cultural Studies' with ISBN 9780691005034 and ISBN 0691005036.
