Failure and Nerve in the Academic Study of Religion presents a provocative critique of the unwillingness of modern scholars to publically distinguish research into comparative religion from confessional studies written within denominationally-affiliated institutions. A wide range of scholars reassess the methodology and ambition of contemporary religious research, arguing that conceptualizing religion as part of the world of human action and experience is the first requirement of the study of religion.
