Aims & Scope

Religion and Society responds to the need for a rigorous, in-depth review of current work in the expanding sub-discipline of the anthropology of religion. In addition, this important annual aims to provide a dynamic snapshot of developments in the study of religion as a whole and encourages inter-disciplinary perspectives.

Each issue contains a profile of a senior scholar of religion, alongside invited papers produced by authorities in their respective sub-fields. The contributions will provide overviews of a given topic with critical, 'positioned' views of the subject and of relevant research. In the 'Debate Topic' section a scholar of religion will reflect on a high profile issue or event and a 'Reflections on a Text' feature will invite discussants to comment on a recently published volume, followed by a response from the author. Other sections will cover teaching the anthropology of religion, news and conferences, and - vitally - reviews of new books and ethnographic films.

Subjects: Anthropology, Religion, Religious Studies, Sociology of Religion
