Stereotyping Religion: Critiquing Clichés de Brad Stoddard

Stereotyping Religion: Critiquing Clichés: Critiquing Religion: Discourse, Culture, Power

Editat de Brad Stoddard, Craig Martin
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 noi 2017
Our culture is full of popular stereotypes about religion, both positive and negative. Many people uncritically assume that religion is intrinsically violent, or that religion makes people moral, or that it is simply "bullshit". This concise volume tackles 10 of these stereotypes, addresses why scholars of religion find them to be cliched, describes their origins, and explains the social or political work they rhetorically accomplish in the present.

Cliches addressed include the following:

- Religions are belief systems
- I'm spiritual but not religious
- Religion concerns the transcendent
- Learning about religions leads to tolerance and understanding
- Religion is a private matter.

Written in an easy and accessible style, Stereotyping Religion: Critiquing Cliches will be of interest to all readers looking to clear away unsophisticated assumptions in preparation for more critical studies.

Recenzii

This short work should function as an excellent resource to challenge students in an introduction to religion course.
I have high regard for this project and can't wait to assign it in all the courses I teach.
This book promises to be challenging and provocative. It will be a valuable resource that belongs in libraries and on reading lists.
An excellent combination of established scholars and like-minded early-career scholars. The volume helps students and scholars alike to critically reflect on the familiar clichés about religion and thus become more skilled in analyzing public discourse concerning religion. This is one of the most important skills in the discipline. Therefore I regard this volume as highly relevant.
This book addresses an issue that would be of interest to many students. There is nothing like this published that I know of.
