Theory for Religious Studies

In this handy volume two professors of religious studies provide the student of religious studies - whether the motivated undergraduate graduate student or professor - with a brief review of theorists' work from the perspective of religious studies. For example in 5-10 pages the reader will get a review of Emmanuel Levinas's work as it offers insights for scholars in religious studies followed by a selected bibliography. In short this is a guide for students of religious studies that will take major theoretical writers in the humanities and social sciences and explain their relevance to the study of religion.
