Insider/Outsider Problem in the Study of Religion: A Reader (Controversies in the Study of Religion S.) - Softcover
Synopsis
The "insider/outsider problem" is a theoretical and methodological issue that confronts the student of human behaviour and culture. This anthology collects 30 readings, from such writers as Kant, Hume, Schleiermacher and Otto, to Ninian Smart, Mircea Eliade, Karen McCarthy-Brown and Wendy Doniger-O'Flaherty, that investigate the ways in which scholars of religion have grappled with the relations between studying, practising and advocating. Moving from influential readings in linguistics and anthropology, the volume's thematically arranged chapter introduce readers to the strengths and weaknesses of several popular options in addressing the insider/outsider problem.

Review
"Undergraduates will find this collection very valuable.[ ]McCutcheon explains, in comprehensible language, theoretical terms and concepts which are significant and indeed critical for the understanding and method of the study of religions. For graduates and post-graduates, as well as for anyone teaching in the subject, the usefulness of the anthology lies in the convenience of having several classic and contemporary readings assembled in one volume."
- Journal of Contemporary Religion, 2001
"Presents an outstanding overview of the insider/outsider problem in the study of religion."
- Teaching Theology and Religion
From the Publisher
Reviewed in: Religion, July 2000
"...the rationale behind this volume, and the ‘Controversies’ series as a whole, is intelligent and important...there is fuel here for detailed methodological debate, and the book certainly deserves widespread consultation."
