Scary Scholarship: A Response to Bruce Lincoln’s Gods and Demons, Priests and Scholars
Issued Date: 3 Apr 2013
Abstract
Bruce Lincoln's recent book, Gods and Demons, Priests and Scholars: Critical Explorations in the History of Religions, is a text whose critical offerings threaten analytical engagements that suggest that we answer to those subjects we study. Lincoln, instead, appeals to an uncompromising critical self-reflexiveness that, while potentially uncomfortable--and even scary--forces a vital conversation in the academic study of religion.
