Críticas:

'This volume presents the discipline's entire span, laying bare the range of its problems and ambiguities. Summing up: recommended.' J. C. Hanges, Choice

'This is a text that will be of great use to seasoned thinkers in religious studies, as well as students who are here introduced to the field not through the lens of reified traditions, heroic theorists, or debunkers, but through 'occasions of working on the world in the idioms of religion ... in order to raise questions and develop illuminating perspectives on human life itself'.' Susan E. Henking, Religious Studies Review

'... an excellent addition to a college or university library that supports religious studies, cultural studies or social anthropology ...' Christine Love-Rodgers, Reference Reviews
