Description: Robert E. Shedinger poses a series of provocative challenges to the disciplines of religious studies and comparative religions. He questions the convenient distinction between "politics" and "religion" and the isolation of "religion" from wider social and cultural questions. Shedinger argues that his proposal for a more accurate and respectful understanding of faith will improve possibilities for mutual understanding among Christians, Muslims--and others. (Back cover).
