Abstract

We may have arrived at a time of stock-taking. Perhaps it is just the turn of the century or the dawning of a new millennium. But it may also be related to the natural history of our discipline, as the first full generation of secular scholars of religion are assuming positions of authority and influence in departments of religious studies. The subject of this review symposium, the Guide to the Study of Religion, reflects this state of affairs (along with a number of other recent and forthcoming publications, e.g., Idinopulos and Yonan 1996; Taylor 1998; Antes et al. forthcoming). The reviews presented here were first given in a panel discussion of Braun and McCutcheon's book at the meeting of the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion (SSSR), held at Houston in November 2000.
