Relating Religion: Essays in the Study of Religion

by Jonathan Z. Smith

Book Overview

One of the most influential theorists of religion, Jonathan Z. Smith is best known for his analyses of religious studies as a discipline and for his advocacy and refinement of comparison as the basis for the history of religions. Relating Religion gathers seventeen essays-four of them never before published-that together provide the first broad overview of Smith's thinking since his seminal 1982 book, Imagining Religion.
