By providing such examples (including the selective and thus self-beneficial way in which so-called engaged scholarship is carried out) the article argues that an approach to the study of religion that aims merely to repeat certain participant claims threatens the model of scholarship others of us have worked so hard to establish as the academic study of religion. |
