The book is part of a wider movement to see religion within the whole scope of human life (e.g., body, territory, transgression, etc.) and not only through the orthodox lenses of the phenomenology of religious experience. The study of religion, coming of age, then comes to serve the purpose not only of "understanding religions" on their own terms or on religious terms, but of examining its subject matter as a way of revealing more deeply and complexly the forms and possibilities of human world habitation.
