This comprehensive introduction to theories of religion is the first singlevolume exploration of ideas put forward by both believers and nonbelievers.James Thrower analyzes the different types of explanations of religion, not just the thoughts of individuals, advanced primarilybut not exclusivelyfrom within the Western tradition. He begins by looking at religious explanations of religion, which define religion as revelation, experience or philosophy (Plato, Kant, and Hegel). He then examines the naturalist, or nonreligious, explanations, from the disciplines of anthropology, psychology, and sociology, including the 'masters of suspicion' (including Feurbach, Nietzsche, Marx, Tylor, Frazer, and Freud). The scope of this book ranges from the classical, Semitic, and Indian religious traditions through contemporary thinkers.Thrower concludes by considering the future of the religions of the world in light of the increasingly close interreligious encounters that are becoming a feature of the global village of the twentyfirst century.
