Individuals and groups have long found identity and meaning through religion and its collective expression. In' Religion in World History', John C. Super and Briane K. Turley examine the value of religion for interpreting the human experience in the past and present. Through this they explore those elements of religion that best connect it with cultural and political dynamics that have influenced history. Working within this general framework, Super and Turley bring out three unifying themes: The relationship between formal and informal religious beliefs, how these change through time, and how they are reflected in different cultures The relationship between church and state, from theocracies to the repression of religion The ongoing search for spiritual certainty, and the consequent splintering of core religious beliefs and the development of new ones

What is Religion? consists of fourteen essays written by a selection of scholars who represent a wide spectrum of approaches to the acedamic study of religion. Each of the essays is an effort not only to take stock of the present controversy concerning appropriate methodologies for the study of religion, but also to take one giant step beyond that to formulate a precise definition of religion. Given the considerable confusion today about what it is exactly that religious studies scholars take to be their subject matter when they presume to professionally teachabout religion, this volume provides a much needed forum for leading scholars to debate and clarify what professors of religious studies understand as the central object or objects under their scrunity.
