The Invention of World Religions: The critics

METHOD & THEORY IN THE STUDY OF RELIGION
Journal of the North American Association for the Study of Religion
Aims & Scope
Method & Theory in the Study of Religion publishes articles, essays, notes, book reviews, and
letters which explicitly address methodological and theoretical issues in the academic study of
religion. In order to provide a forum for scholars to present their ideas to the larger critical
community, the editors are interested particularly in papers and notes that respond directly to
previous MTSR articles. Furthermore, the editor aims to promote the work of new scholars
in the field. All submissions considered for publication are evaluated by at least two referees.
The editor would like to acknowledge the support of the Department of Religion and the
College of Arts & Sciences at Florida State University.
