164 historical study of religious change. Could one more profitably focus on tensions between diffusion and translation, rather than on contrasts between them? Might one ask how it is that so much 'translation' occurs when it is theoretically unacceptable, and how it is that 'diffusion' takes place when 'translation' is so enthusiastically supported? Can one adequately assess the tension between diffusion and translation by focusing so narrowly on scrip- tural translation? Can one develop interpretive theoretical frameworks that are more heuristic than categorical, and that make as much of a place as possible for historical and cultural context?
