| Summary: | This book offers a clear, concise introduction to the meaning of problematic terms, and the ways in which they should legitimately be used. Each entry considers the following: Why is this concept problematic? ; What are the origins of the concept? ; How is it used or misused, and by whom? ; Is it still a legitimate concept in the study of religion and, if so, what are its legitimate uses? ; Are there other concepts that are preferable when writing on religion? Concepts covered include: Belief, Religion, Magic, Secularisation, Violence. This is a jargon-free indispensable resource for students and scholars that encourages the critical use of terms in the study of religion |
