Belief in History: Innovative Approaches to European and American Religion

By Thomas Kselman

The eight essays in this volume seek to re-establish the importance of belief as both an intellectually and psychologically relevant concept. A common conviction among the contributors is that careful historical work can attune readers to the nature and significance of religious belief and thereby contribute to more balanced and nuanced judgements about religion in both historical and contemporary contexts. The authors also share a concern for redefining the field of religious history, to broaden its domain and extend its contacts with other disciplines.
