    CRITICS NOT CARETAKERS
    RUSSELL T. MCCUTCHEON
    The essays collected together in Critics Not Caretakers argue that the study of religion must be rethought as an ordinary aspect of social, historical existence, a stance that makes the scholar of religion a critic of cultural and historical practices rather than a caretaker of religious tradition or a font of timeless wisdom and deep meaning. The book begins with several essay...

    WILLIAM E. ARNAL / WILLI BRAUN / RUSSELL T. MCCUTCHEON

However, the concept of "experience" has come under increasing fire from a range of critics and theorists. This Reader presents writings from both those who assume the existence and poss...

    RELIGION AND THE DOMESTICATION OF DISSENT
    RUSSELL T. MCCUTCHEON
    In its first edition, Religion and the Domestication of Dissent focused on the representations of Islam that circulated in the wake of the 9/11 attacks—representations that scholars, pundits, and politicians alike used either to essentialize and demonize it or, instead, to isolate specific aspects as apolitical and thus tolerable faith. This little book’s larger thesis therefor...
