Over the course of the 20th century, thinkers from Marx and Weber to Freud, Jung and Campbell transformed the way we understand the religious experience. Within the field of religious studies, various intellectual approaches - from feminism to phenomenology - have further shaped the ways in which scholars examine rituals, symbols, and belief systems. In this book, Seth D. Kunin provides an accessible yet comprehensive introduction to the social-scientific theories of religion that developed during the 20th century, explaining the most significant theories of religion and their precursors. religion, their ideas and their influence, among them Marx, Durkheim, Weber, Freud, Jung and Otto. He next explores how various disciplines - sociology, psychology, phenomenology, gender studies and anthropology - have affected the study of religion. Kunin then analyses the constituent elements of religion itself: ritual, symbolism and myth. Throughout, the author emphasizes the need to question and reassess accepted theories and definitions of religion, and he concludes with suggestions for framing new definitions of religion that provide more culturally sensitive and open-ended ways of understanding.
