Religion Matters
Religious Literacy in Policy and Practice
This valuable book is the first to bring together theory and policy with analysis and expertise on practices in key areas of the public realm to explore what religious literacy is, why it is needed and what might be done about it. It makes the case for a public realm which is well equipped to engage with the plurality and pervasiveness of religion and belief, whatever the individual's own stance. It is aimed at academics, policy-makers and practi…

Henry Steel Olcott and “Protestant Buddhism”
L'A. presente le cas d'un homme largement influent en tant que protestant bouddhiste. Il montre que dans le cas d'Henry Steel Olcott, le bouddhisme protestant ne se limite pas a un amalgame entre le bouddhisme Theravada traditionnel et le protestantisme de Weber decrit par Obeyesekere, mais a un melange de bouddhisme Theravada et de trois autres elements: modernisme protestant, rang social et orientalisme academique. Le bouddhisme protestant est …
From Spiritualism to Theosophy: "Uplifting" a Democratic Tradition
The status reversal ritual that American religious historiography has undergone in the last two decades has done much to “mainstream” previously taboo topics within the field. Many religious groups once dismissed as odd and insignificant “cults” are now seen as “new religious movements” worthy of serious scrutiny. One subject that has benefited from this reversal of fortunes is theosophy. Thanks to the work of scholars such as Robert Ellwood and …
On the Holy Road: The Beat Movement as Spiritual Protest
For the beat generation of the 1940s and 1950s, dissertation time is here. Magazine and newspaper critics have gotten in their jabs. Now scholars are starting to analyze the literature and legacy of the beat writers. In the last few years biographers have lined up to interpret the lives of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William Burroughs, and publishers have rushed into print a host of beat journals, letters, memoirs, and anthologies. The most…
