Angela's Symposium: Invented Religions (with Angela Puca and Carole M. Cusack) (original) (raw)

Eileen Barker (LSE), Review of Carole M. Cusack and Alex Norman (eds), Handbook of New Religions and Cultural Production, Leiden and Boston, Brill, 2012.

The editors of this book open by telling us that its production was a Herculean task. I would not question that claim for one second. Well over 800 pages and heavy enough to impede taking it on a train journey, let alone an airplane, it contains 30 full-length chapters and 47 illustrations. The contributors, both familiar and unfamiliar to scholars of religion, range from seasoned emeritus professor to young doctoral student and hail from North America, Europe, New Zealand, and, predominantly, Australia.
