ISBN: 9780691621074 出版年：2015 页码：367 Ramsey, Paul,Wilson, John Frederick Princeton University Press

The study of religion, traditionally sponsored by sectarian institutions, has within recent decades come to claim an increasingly larger share of attention in colleges and universities generally, and in the process the constituent intellectual disciplines have undergone significant changes. In this volume, twelve distinguished scholars take stock of the current state of the field and explore the prospects for future development. The areas covered in the essays (with their authors) are biblical studies (stendhal), western religious history (clebsch), philosophy of religion (diamond), theology (mcgill), catholic studies (preller), jewish studies (neusner), sociology of religion (harrison), comparative religious ethics (little), history of religions (sullivan), religion and art (turner), and religion and literature (driver).
