Review of the Blackwell and Routledge Companions to the Study of Religion (2006 & 2005).

What is it about?

The review describes each volume and its contents and compares their strengths an weaknesses. Despite concluding that "any scholar who embarks on the daunting task of coming to grips with the huge variety of data that compose the whole of the field of the study of religion will be well-served by either of these volumes and more so by both," the review confesses a personal preference for the Routledge volume.
