Reviews

This wonderful book has managed to pull off a rather remarkable feat: the drawing of a clean line from foundational analysts of religion to the present and future state of religious studies. Eric Bain-Selbo is at once concise and sprawling; critical yet graceful; cautious while taking risks; and optimistic though starkly real in The End(s) of Religion. * Jeffrey Scholes, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Director of The Center for Religious Diversity and Public Life, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, USA *
