Blackwell Brief Histories of
Religion
This series offers brief, accessible and lively accounts of key topics
within theology and religion. Each volume presents both aca-
demic and general readers with a selected history of topics which
have had a profound effect on religious and cultural life. The
word ‘history’ is, therefore, understood in its broadest cultural
and social sense. The volumes are based on serious scholarship
but they are written engagingly and in terms readily understood
by general readers.
