I had a great time with @vtouna.bsky.social discussing our co-edited volume on @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social. If you're interested in discussing what we do with the history of the field today, I think you'll enjoy this volume and conversation.
New Books on “Fieldnotes in the Critical Study of Religion: Revisiting Classical Theorists”
Have you heard about Fieldnotes...?It's not about fidelity to the field's history; it's about telling and tilling it in a critical way. These scholars help us to do that in a promising way.
