The main focus is on Muslim minorities in Western countries and on religious dialogues of which he provides first-hand knowledge through his...

Essays by Michael Pye are landmarks in the development of the study of religions. This first volume comprises fundamental papers on method and theory, while the second volume uses case studies to explore a number of themes such as tradition, innovation, and syncretism. Wider themes such as civil identity, dialogue, and religious education illustrate the general relevance of the study of religions.

In dialogue with, yet different from, other major movements in the field (material culture, anthropology of the senses, for instance), it is the specific intent of this approach to create a framework for understanding the interplay...
