Beschreibung
This book offers a clear, concise introduction to the meaning of problematic terms, and the ways in which they should legitimately be used. Each entry considers the following:

- Why is this concept problematic?
- What are the origins of the concept?
- How is it used or misused, and by whom?
- Is it still a legitimate concept in the study of religion and, if so, what are its legitimate uses?
- Are there other concepts that are preferable when writing on religion?

Concepts covered include:

- Belief
- Religion
- Magic
- Secularisation
- Violence

This is a jargon-free indispensable resource for students and scholars that encourages the critical use of terms in the study of religion.
